This red blend from Columbia Valley is easy drinking and tasty.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, chocolates, light vegetables, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and black pepper.
A good everyday wine to sip on by the porch. Tangy and spicy.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$22.
