Baer 2007 Ursa Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Ursa
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Baer / Columbia Valley (WA)

A five-grape Bordeaux blend dominated by Merlot and Cab Franc, this is a deft mix of grapes nicely melded into a complete and satisfying wine. It’s anchored by black cherry and cassis fruit, supple and focused. Surrounding that core fruit are layers of smoke, black olive, pencil lead and coffee grounds. It resonates gracefully through a long finish.
