Dusted Valley 2013 BFM Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / BFM
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Dusted Valley / Columbia Valley (WA)

At 81%, this could be a varietally labeled Merlot, with the rest Cabernet Franc (15%) and Petit Verdot. It appeals with pretty aromas of cocoa, wood spice and jammy red fruit that are followed by full-bodied fruit and barrel flavors that pack a wallop while staying in balance.
