Charles & Charles 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Washington
Winery: Charles & Charles / Columbia Valley (WA)

A project of Charles Smith and Charles Bieler, this easy-drinking, approachable red is a low-budget expression of a popular blend. The sweet cherry fruit is lightly candied, and it bears a strong scent of toast. The flavors are simple, juicy and quite pretty, with a streak of fresh cut tobacco.
