Country: US / Windrow Vineyards Windrow Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Oregon
Winery: Tero Estates / Walla Walla Valley (OR)
This is a field blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 6% Malbec. Some overt stemmy notes are present, lending a bitterness to the finish that may not be for all palates. But the wine carries a thread of sweet berry as well, suggesting that not all of the grapes were equally ripe. An interesting wine, and it should improve with further bottle age.
