:Nota Bene 2009 Una Notte Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Una Notte
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: :Nota Bene / Columbia Valley (WA)

Half Grenache, 40% Syrah and the rest Mourvèdre, all sourced from vineyards in the Royal Slope region. Exceptionally fragrant, with appealing plummy, juicy blueberry and cherry fruit. A hint of leather does not detract, though it seems to toughen up the tannins with a touch of bitterness in the finish.
