DeLille 2008 Harrison Hill Red (Snipes Mountain)

Country: US / Harrison Hill
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: DeLille / Snipes Mountain

Tart and juicy, with wild raspberry fruit streaked with dried herb and just hinting at black cherry. This is a subtle yet powerful wine, with whiffs of smoke, licorice and coffee, but far less noticeable barrel influence than its companion reds. Focused and pure, with the structure to age.
