Tertulia 2012 Sobra Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Sobra
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Tertulia / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Merlot makes up three quarters of this wine with the rest Cabernets Franc (17%) and Sauvignon. The Franc shows itself, with aromas of lightly leafy herbs that are followed by tire rubber, anise, vanilla and cherry. The cranberry and cherry flavors are sweet, with rustic tannins backing them up.
