Ambassador Vineyard 2010 Estate Grown Diplomat Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Estate Grown Diplomat
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Ambassador Vineyard / Red Mountain

This is a tried-and-true Washington blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah. It is still pulling itself together, and it marries moderately ripe fruit to herb and green tea elements. The tannins are astringent, and there is a hint of leather on the finish.
