Canoe Ridge 1998 Red Table Wine Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Red Table Wine
Variety: Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Canoe Ridge / Columbia Valley (WA)

The blend is 79% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is clear and bright, with sweet blueberry and cherry fruit and a pleasant whiff of barnyard. Very soft tannins and acids make for an easy-drinking red wine that would make a terrific house pour.
