Gorman 2011 Zachary’s Ladder Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Zachary’s Ladder
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Gorman / Red Mountain

Always a fine value in the Gorman lineup, this new Zachary’s Ladder is the best yet. It’s half Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah, and 10% Petit Verdot, yielding a plush, mouthfilling wine that remains light on its feet. Credit the lively acidity that elevates mixed red berry fruits and finishes with a kiss of milk chocolate.
