K Vintners 2009 En Cerise Ovide Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah
Winery: K Vintners / En Cerise Ovide

This will be the last Ovide from En Cerise grapes. It’s an explosion of cherry and milk chocolate flavors, remaining firm with expressive highlights of olive, earth and herb. It is two-thirds Cabernet and one-third Syrah, a perfect melding of the two grapes. Arguably, one gets better aromatics than Charles Smith, and the wine flavors deliver on their initial promise.
