Northstar 2013 Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Northstar /

Merlot (63%) takes the lead on this blend followed by Cabernet Sauvignon (23%) and Cabernet Franc. The aromas seem somewhat wound up at present, with notes of wood spice, vanilla and fresh herb. The palate is über-smooth, showing a fine sense of balance and polish.
