David O'Reilly, of Owen Roe fame, produces this ever changing Washington blend.
About the 2006:
65% Merlot, 19% Cab Franc, 9% Malbec, 6% Sangiovese
Harvest and Method: Fermented in small 1.5 ton tanks. Punch-downs daily. Gravity fed to barrel with single racking before bottling. Barrel aged for 9 months.
An inky-dark hue. Vibrant nose of plum, cherry and cassis. The palate is filled with plums and grilled meats with hint of smoke and black mission fig. The sturdy tannins along with classic Washington state acidity stretch into the long and elegant finish.
