Ever since my trip to Walla Walla and Benton City, I have been a die-hard believer in Washington fruit and especially the fruit from the Red Mountain. It is so unique, at least to me in the fact it is bold, structured and powerful yet restrained some. This wine shows great balance, nice grippy tannins, ample acidity, lots of red and black fruit with some underlying hints of leather and tobacco. Give this a good hour decant or lay it down for at least 5 years.
