Substance Red Blend is a Columbia Valley wine crafted by Wines of Substance, part of the portfolio created by acclaimed Washington winemaker Charles Smith. This red blend combines 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 10% Malbec, and 2% Sangiovese, sourced from vineyards across Washington's Columbia Valley AVA.

The wine offers notes of dark red fruit, blackberry, plum, and hints of exotic spices. Tasting profiles describe black plum, black currant, and dried blueberry layered with black licorice, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, and touches of amaro, black tea, and marzipan. It is expressive, complex, bright, and fruit-forward with subtle accents of spice and leather.

Substance wines were introduced in 2015 with a focus on delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price point. The brand retails for approximately $17 per bottle. This 750ML bottle is ideal for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or aged cheeses.
