Sleight Of Hand Cellars

The Archimage Columbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Jake Hajer

9.2

Cab Franc 49%, Merlot 48%, Cabernet 3%. Good blend. I have been consistently impressed by this producer and how the wines age. This is tasting at the right moment. Baked blackberry, black pepper, sour cherry. It’s good, but drink now. — 21 days ago
