Mark Ryan Winery Description

Some of Washington State’s finest vineyards have provided fruit for the 2020 The Dissident. Red Mountain cabernet sauvignon from Quinn and Quintessence vineyards combine with merlot from Red Willow and Olsen and form the foundation of this blend. The Dissident is a wine that we create to complement the Dead Horse and Long Haul, the same vineyards, barrels and attention to detail go into crafting The Dissident. While Dead Horse and Long Haul are crafted to be supremely age-worthy The Dissident is built to offer a more approachable wine younger in its development. Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

92 Wine Spectator

A fruit bomb that's also well-structured, this generous red offers bold black cherry and raspberry flavors laced with vanilla and toasty spice. Finishes on a zesty, plump note. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

91 Wine Enthusiast
Cabernet Sauvi- gnon comprises almost three-quarters of this wine and Merlot just under a quarter, with the rest bits of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The aromas pull you into the glass, with notes of mocha, toast, red berries, graphite and spice. Ripe, plush, velvety soft red- and black-fruit flavors follow. Coffee notes linger for a long time on the finish. It’s a winner.

The base Bordeaux blend from this team, the 2020 The Dissident is a terrific wine displaying more red fruits, lead pencil, dried flowers, and spicy notes as well as a medium-bodied, elegant, supple style on the palate. It has a touch of the firmer tannins of the vintage yet brings lots of fruit and character and is clearly an outstanding wine.
