Stottle 2012 Big Eddie Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Stottle / Big Eddie

Merlot (55%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) make up the majority of this wine with the balance Malbec. Vanilla, barrel spice and dark-fruit aromas are followed by saturated black-fruit flavors that linger. The oak gets a bit out-front but the wine still has much to offer.
