Auclair Winery's Left Blend is a Bordeaux-style red wine sourced from Washington State's prestigious Red Mountain AVA, one of the most acclaimed wine-growing regions in the Pacific Northwest. This flagship wine from winemaker Auclair is always Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, with varying supporting roles played by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot — an homage to the great Left Bank châteaux of Bordeaux where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme.

The wine is known for its age-worthiness and depth of character, with each vintage reflecting the unique growing conditions of Red Mountain. Typical tasting notes include concentrated blackberry and black cherry fruit, cocoa, espresso, and hints of aged balsamic, with a richly structured, full-bodied palate. Critics have awarded various vintages scores in the low-to-mid 90s from publications including Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator.

Red Mountain is one of Washington's smallest and most distinguished AVAs, situated in the Yakima Valley. The warm days and cool nights of this high-desert region concentrate flavors and develop the firm tannin structure that gives Auclair's Left Blend its excellent aging potential.
