Brian Carter Cellars 2011 Byzance Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Byzance
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Brian Carter Cellars / Columbia Valley (WA)

Grenache (56%) takes the lead on this blend, which also includes Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Cinsault. It offers aromas of celery salt, coffee and dark berries. The palate brings fruit flavors that display the best this vintage has to offer—richness without excessive weight. The finish persists.
