Hightower 2009 Out of Line Red Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Out of Line Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Hightower / Red Mountain

This easy-drinking, estate-grown, Bordeaux-style blend tilts more toward Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon in this new vintage. Medium-bodied and fully ripe, it falls just a little flat on the midpalate, and finishes with a suggestion of alcoholic heat.
