Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Halcyon Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Halcyon
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Cloudlift Cellars / Columbia Valley (WA)

This Bordeaux-style blend, one of four from this tiny winery, is two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon. The somewhat thin cranberry and raspberry fruit, high in acid, is not quite substantial enough to completely shed its candied character.
