Latah Creek 2005 Cabernet-Syrah (Washington)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet-Syrah Washington
Winery: Latah Creek / Washington

This 50/50 blend brings a bowl full of sweet cherry fruit to the nose; it’s hard to resist after the first sniff. There’s plenty of glycerin and a lushness to the mouthfeel, and the fruit flavors pile on sweet streaks of cherry, plum and raisin. Much of the pleasure is right up front, and the wine turns a bit stiff and stemmy as it heads down the back stretch.
