Sweet Valley Wines 2006 Double Barrel Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Double Barrel
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Sweet Valley Wines / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

The second release from this young Walla Walla winery is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 4% Syrah. It’s a pungent, assertive, somewhat funky wine that shows a mix of ripe plum and berry fruits, appealing tack room earthiness, and a nicely integrated end run of dried herb and coffee.
