Weisinger’s of Ashland 2000 Petite Pompadour Red (Rogue Valley)

Country: US / Petite Pompadour
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Oregon
Winery: Weisinger’s of Ashland / Rogue Valley

This Bordeaux blend features charred, barrel-driven aromas along with leather and black-fruit aromas. The palate is snappy and acidic, with plum and raspberry flavors poking through a heavy coating of concrete tannins. The finish is equally tight and grippy, and here the tannins are even more pronounced. Very tight and hard; time in the cellar could be the prescription.
