Soos Creek 2009 Palisade Merlot-Cabernet (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Palisade
Variety: Merlot-Cabernet Washington
Winery: Soos Creek / Columbia Valley (WA)

Palisade remains principally Merlot, with a little Cabernet Sauvignon also in the blend. Smoky and focused, it’s a riot of loganberry, blueberry and other blue and purple fruits. The tangy mouthfeel brings in streaks of coffee and mineral, with a tart, elegant finish.
