Brian Carter Cellars 2012 Trentenaire Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

Petit Verdot (62%) takes the lead on this blend, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. The flower, green herb, coffee and barrel spice aromas are brooding, while the palate offers bright acids, firm tannins and a spot-on sense of balance.
