Columbia and Willamette Valley Wine Tasting; 6/8/2023-6/11/2023 (Vancouver, WA and the Willamette Valley, OR): Styled like a Super Tuscan, this medium ruby wine is a blend of 66% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Syrah. Intensely aromatic, it flaunts a bouquet of black currants, dark bramble fruits, pluots, truffles, jasmine and black tea. Medium-bodied, fresh, proportionately oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.6%), it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, wrapping them with plentiful supple tannins. Impressively dense on the mid-palate and equally impressive on the finish, this is a terrific wine that shows the value that can be had from the Evergreen State. Tasted at Brian Carter's tasting room in Vancouver, WA from a bottle that had reportedly been uncorked one hour prior. Drink now-2034.
