Mercer 2010 Cavalie Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Mercer / Cavalie Reserve

The top cuvée from Mercer Estates, this reserve is a Bordeaux-style blend based upon 64% Merlot, the rest a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. A firm entry introduces a solid mid-palate with a mix of black fruits, coffee and toast. The finish is clean and gentle, with moderate persistence.
