Hightower 2010 Murray Cuvée Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Murray Cuvée
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Hightower / Columbia Valley (WA)

This vintage mixes fruit from Red Mountain and Alder Ridge (in the Horse Heaven Hills). Aromatic and soft, it’s a five-grape Bordeaux-style blend, half Cabernet Sauvignon, and it carries that grape’s herbal stamp. Tannins are a bit earthy, but the time in bottle has smoothed their rough edges. Drink up!
