Hightower 2011 Merlot (Red Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot Washington
Winery: Hightower / Red Mountain

In a challenging vintage, this shows excellent structure around rather light fruit. Strawberry and cherry come into play, with some well-managed tannic strength from the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and a splash of Malbec.
