Mark Ryan Winery's The Dissident is a bold, fruit-forward red blend crafted from premier Washington State vineyards in Columbia Valley. Sourced from some of the state's finest Red Mountain sites, the wine blends Cabernet Sauvignon from the Quinn and Quintessence vineyards with Merlot from Red Willow and Olsen vineyards, reflecting the same meticulous sourcing and barrel aging that defines Mark Ryan's flagship lineup.

The Dissident opens with a deep ruby hue and inviting aromas of violets, black currant, and cedar. On the palate, flavors of ripe red cherry, blackberry, and red plum are woven together with vanilla and toasty spice, creating a generous, well-structured wine that drinks approachably in its youth. Wine Spectator describes it as "a fruit bomb that's also well-structured, this generous red offers bold black cherry and raspberry flavors laced with vanilla and toasty spice."

Designed to be enjoyed upon release rather than cellared extensively, The Dissident is an excellent choice for pairing with beef, lamb, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Each bottle is 750ml.
