Upland Estates 2008 Teunis Red Red (Snipes Mountain)

Country: US / Teunis Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Upland Estates / Snipes Mountain

A Bordeaux-style blend, this begins with concentrated strawberry and cherry flavors, rich and liquorous. A majority of the oak was Hungarian, and a strong vanilla streak runs through the middle and on into the finish. For some palates the fruit and the oak will seem a bit mismatched, but for others this will be right on the mark.
