Mercer 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Mercer / Columbia Valley (WA)

Here is a well-built, Bordeaux-style blend based largely upon Cabernet Sauvignon, with 12% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot filling it out. Firm, dark and muscular, this mixes tart black fruit flavors with streaks of licorice and peppery herbs.
