The Alatus
"With Wings"
Alatus - "with wings" Named after our grandpa Tom "Doc" Campbell's sailboat based in Port Ludlow. Our family has great memories of sailing the San Juan Islands doing what you do on a 60' sailboat.
Every year, we put a signature blend together that will be given the name "Alatus". The focus of the Alatus Blend will be balance. It will be blended in a fruit forward style, with just the right amount of oak.
The 2008 Alatus Blend is comprised of 60% Merlot, 25% Cab Sauv, 10% Malbec and 5% Syrah. It begins with tobacco and vanilla. Robust flavors of cherry, dark chocolate, and fig, finishing with black licorice. This wine says it all, and is a great example of what you will come to expect from Kontos Cellars.
