Kyra 2011 Garnet Red (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / Garnet
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Kyra / Wahluke Slope

Though it makes up only a fifth of the wine, Cabernet Sauvignon seems to win out in this largely Bordeaux-style blend with notes of mixed herbs, mint and green tea. Lighter in style, it offers a fresh feel, slightly chalky tannins, and little obvious new oak influence. It adds up to a low-alcohol wine that goes down easy.
