Merry Cellars 2011 Crimson Red (Washington)

Country: US / Crimson
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Merry Cellars / Washington

Crimson is half Merlot, one-third Cab Franc, the rest a mix of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s some volatility in the nose, with bright, spicy strawberry fruit swathed in light chocolate. The midpalate drops out.
