Robert Karl 2010 Claret Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Claret
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Robert Karl / Horse Heaven Hills

A blend of nearly two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon with the rest Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it brings notes of herbs, vanilla extract, cherry and chocolate. The wood plays a big part in the show, at times getting out in front of the fruit.
