Baer 2012 Arctos Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Baer / Arctos

Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) takes the lead on this wine followed by Merlot (15%) and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aromas of high-toned dried herbs, flowers, black currant, coffee and barrel spices lead to densely packed black fruit flavors that need time to strut their stuff. Drink after 2021.
