Mark Ryan 2007 Water Witch Klipsun Vineyard Red Wine Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Mark Ryan / Water Witch Klipsun Vineyard Red Wine

Ripe red raspberry fruit fills the nose; this seems more fruit forward than most other Klipsun designates. The tannins have been wrangled into submission, giving the wine good balance immediately, while preserving the acidity and tannic depth to age well. The blend is 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot—a classic, un-fussy, straight-ahead Red Mountain style.
