Tamarack Cellars 2012 Tapteil Vineyard Reserve Red (Red Mountain)

Country: US / Tapteil Vineyard Reserve
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Tamarack Cellars / Red Mountain

This wine is principally Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), with the rest equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aromas of dried herb, black cherry, licorice, cocoa and barrel spice give way to plentiful tart-cherry flavors backed by bright acidity and lightly chewy tannins. It stretches out on the finish.
