Owen Roe 2009 Red Red (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Owen Roe / Yakima Valley

Three-fifths Merlot, one quarter Cab Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux-style blend shows ripe fruit scents of raisin and prune, offset with baking spices and plenty of chocolate and espresso. Full-throttle, smooth and concentrated, it’s a big, concentrated, somewhat in-your face-effort, but delicious all the way through.
