Reininger 2011 Mr. Owl’s Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Mr. Owl’s
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Reininger / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Aromas of Bing cherry, herbs, earth and exotic spices tussle a bit on this blend of Sangiovese (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (27%), Merlot and Syrah from Seven Hills and Stillwater Creek vineyards. Flavors are generous yet reserved, with a seamless feel and zippy acids stitching it together, followed by bitters on the finish.
