Ott & Murphy 2009 Double Bluff Red Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Double Bluff Red
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Ott & Murphy / Horse Heaven Hills

This pretty, Rhône-style red blend consists of roughly equal parts Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, with a splash of co-fermented Roussanne. It smells young and fruity, with candied scents of strawberry and raspberry. With plenty of breathing it gains a bit of midpalate weight, but the candied character remains.
