Country: US / Marriage
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Terra Valentine / Spring Mountain District
Dramatically rich and structured, this mountain blend of Bordeaux varieties needs time in the cellar. Right now, it’s tannic and astringent, with youthful flavors of blackberries, minerals and smoky new oak. But it’s a very fine wine that should hold and mellow through 2014.
