Cadence 2011 Coda Red (Red Mountain)

| By editor

Country: US / Coda
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Cadence / Red Mountain

This four-grape, Bordeaux-style blend offers firm, concentrated plum and cassis fruit, stiff tannins and a touch of iron and graphite. It saw 45% new French oak—pretty impressive for a $25 red.
