Côte Bonneville 2011 Estate Bottled Carriage House DuBrul Vineyard Red (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Estate Bottled Carriage House DuBrul Vineyard
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Côte Bonneville / Yakima Valley

Lighter in color, this wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The aromas are locked up tightly on first pour, opening up over time to reveal notes of herb, spice, flower and dark cherry. The palate is more giving, with abundant but still elegant cherry and herb flavors that linger on the finish. It’s all about elegance.
