Tulpen 2009 Coalescence Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Coalescence
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Tulpen / Columbia Valley (WA)

This Bordeaux-style blend is 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, and splits the rest among Merlot, Cab Franc and Malbec, sourced from six different vineyards. It’s a lovely blend, balanced and judiciously earthy, with a mix of red and blue fruits. The blend and balance suggest that a decade of cellaring would not be too much.
