Lauren Ashton Cellars 2013 Proprietor’s Cuvée Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Lauren Ashton Cellars / Proprietor’s Cuvée

Cabernet Sauvignon makes up over 70% of this blend with the balance Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It shows aromas of dark cherries, licorice and brooding black fruit that at times seems slightly dried out. The palate shows elegantly styled dark-fruit flavors that linger on the finish.
