Woodinville Wine Cellars 2004 O.M.O. Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Winery: Woodinville Wine Cellars / O.M.O.

Plenty of deep color, thick tannin and dark streaks of smoke and tar make this a stand-up steakhouse wine. The fruit does have an herbal edge but it is lingering, complex and interesting. Think of it as the vinous equivalent of a cello-viola sonata—dark and mysteriously intertwined.
