SuLei 2010 Les Collines Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: SuLei / Les Collines Vineyard

Though this is pure Cabernet from an excellent Walla Walla vineyard, the flavors seem rather harsh and quite astringent. The dark fruit is cloaked in bitter, chalky tannins that require some rich food to cut through.
