Hightower 2010 Red Mountain Reserve Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Red Mountain Reserve
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Hightower / Red Mountain

A barrel selection from the estate and Shaw vineyards, this spent a couple of years in new French oak. It shows good concentration and oak influence. Cassis fruit is underscored with vivid acidity, and the wine retains its balance through a long finish that offers highlights of smoke and char.
