Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Brian Carter Cellars / Solesce
The winery’s flagship wine, Cabernet Sauvignon makes up just over half, with the balance Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Despite its age, it starts tight as a drum, with light aromas of spice, dark cherry, coffee and dried flowers. It’s full flavored, with a dazzling richness to the textured fruit and barrel notes. Best after 2021.
