2014 Daily Double Red Blend, Columbia Valley
Tasting notes
WinePress NW says ... It's a Triple Crown of Yakima Valley vineyards. The fragrance is reminiscent of a stroll through a field of wild berries, while succulent plum, concentrated berries, cool spearmint, subtle spiced oak notes and bittersweet chocolate shavings fill the mouth. It's nicely balanced with complimentary acidity offsetting the dense fruit.
Washington Wine Blog says ... This wine starts with baking spices, black cherry, black olive and crushed mint on the nose. Flavors of black tea, black cherry, black olive and roasted figs show nice balance. There is a good sense of elegance here. Drink 2017-2024.
