William Church 2010 Sur La Mer Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Sur La Mer
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: William Church / Columbia Valley (WA)

This is three fifths Merlot, the rest spread among the other four Bordeaux grapes. It’s very well crafted, showing a bit of herb along with berries and spice. What most impresses is the overall structure, and the impression of ageworthy muscle in the finish.
