Mercer 2011 Reserve Cavalie Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve Cavalie
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Mercer / Columbia Valley (WA)

This Bordeaux-style blend is mostly Merlot. Fragrant and spicy, it intrigues with a sensuous mix of brown spices, cumin, citrus and toast. Soft and open, it moves into the lush middle with blackberry and black cherry fruit, more spices and citrus, all nicely melded.
