Buty 2004 Columbia Rediviva Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Columbia Rediviva
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Buty / Horse Heaven Hills

This 58% Cab-42% Syrah blend is almost jet black, bursting with floral aromas, meaty and just slightly pruney, almost like a super Tuscan. Baking spices (brown sugar, allspice) and pepper add still more flavor interest, along with some lightly herbal influence. It’s a distinctive, deep and seemingly quick-maturing wine that should be enjoyed now.
