Tildio 2005 Profundo Red Wine Red (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Tildio / Profundo Red Wine

A full-boat, five-varietal Bordeaux blend. It’s nicely balanced, and retains some inviting aromas of violets and candied rose petals, leading into a lip-smacking, fruit-driven mid-palate with blueberries, boysenberries and a whisper of saffron and chocolate. There is plenty of acid underpinning, and a judicious use of barrels that keeps the fruit front and center. The best yet from Tildio.
