Wild Thyme Cabernet-Syrah Blend
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Medium purple in color. 2014 Wild Thyme is now a Bordeaux red blend, 47% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 9% Petit Verdot. Black current, herb and menthol notes in nose. Rounded mouthfeel, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, cassis and green pepper flavors in mouth with length, seed tannin finish, a bit alcoholic with slight skin tannin puckering in center of tongue. Fruit more prominent with aeration. This may integrate further with additional aging as well as soften the tannins, but it's drinking well now
