Comprised of 55% Cabernet with 28% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, this wine opens with a strong bouquet of coffee grounds, black cherry compote, black olive tapenade and sandalwood. This leads to flavors of black cherry cough syrup, black tea, cigar box and suggestions of creosote. The 2015 Mark Ryan 'The Dissident' has a polished mouthfeel andl lovely viscosity from this warm vintage in Washington. This great red blend will cellar nicely for another decade.
