Dusted Valley 2012 Squirrel Tooth Alice Red (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Dusted Valley / Squirrel Tooth Alice

A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Petite Sirah all aged in neutral oak, it’s jazzy and appealing with notes of blue fruit, raspberry, smoked meat and peppery spices showing good purity and richness. It’s nowhere near as weighty as the labeled alcohol level might suggest.
