Designed for those who enjoy red wines with character but also crave accessibility, this blend pairs effortlessly with both casual meals and more elevated gatherings.
14 Hands Hot To Trot Red Blend 2021 is a smooth, approachable red that layers ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry with deeper notes of plum and dark currant. Gentle touches of mocha, cocoa, and vanilla from oak aging round out the fruit, while a hint of spice adds warmth.

This blend is versatile and food-friendly. As a Starter, it pairs well with cured meats, bruschetta, or roasted red peppers.

It also complements heartier options like burgers or barbecue with its approachable fruit and spice. In the Cheese course, it works with medium-aged varieties such as cheddar, havarti, or gouda. For Dessert, it finds harmony with chocolate brownies, berry cobbler, or cherry pie, where its fruit-forward profile enhances the sweetness of the dish.

14 Hands

14 Hands is a Washington State winery founded in 2005 by a group that includes members of the Hogue family. The name refers to the height of wild mustangs native to the Northwest—horses that historically stood about 14 hands high—and embodies the spirit of those untamed landscapes. The winery draws from Columbia Valley vineyards and several of its sub-regions, including Horse Heaven Hills, Rattlesnake Hills, and Wahluke Slope, taking advantage of warm days and cool nights to develop balanced fruit with energy.

Winemaking at 14 Hands emphasizes approachable yet well-crafted wines. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, often in lots sorted for consistency. Fermentation is handled with both stainless steel and oak-based regimes depending on varietal and label, while aging includes use of neutral and new oak where appropriate to give structure and texture without overwhelming the varietal character.

The brand positions itself as delivering reliable quality and value. They release both varietal and blended wines, with consistent labeling, packaging, and stylistic benchmarks to ensure each vintage reflects the vineyard and its origin. For consumers, 14 Hands offers wines that are expressive of the Washington terroir, built for everyday enjoyment and wine lovers who want balance and consistency from bottle to bottle.
