Basalt 2013 Rim Rock Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Rim Rock
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Basalt / Columbia Valley (WA)

Malbec (46%) makes up most of this blend followed by 23% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and finished with Cabernet Franc. It offers aromas of dark plum, currant, cocoa and spice that are followed by generous, textured and full blue and black-fruit flavors that bring a lot of hedonistic appeal. Coffee flavors linger on the finish.
