Hightower 2008 Red Red (Red Mountain)

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

This is a three-grape Bordeaux-style blend that is three-fifths Cabernet Sauvignon and one-fifth each Merlot and Petit Verdot. It has tremendous flavor appeal, featuring a lush mix of red and black fruit—both berry and plum—with generous barrel flavors of mocha and espresso. It gains mass and breadth as it breathes.
