Elevation Cellars 2009 Jammin’ Red Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Jammin’ Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Elevation Cellars / Columbia Valley (WA)

Consulting winemaker Matthew Loso knows his way around a blend, and this fine Cabernet-Merlot mix shines with focused, dark fruit flavors. It’s threaded with streaks of clove, black olive and anise, with real muscle and tannic heft.
