2018 Reserve Bordeaux Blend "English Rose"

Expressive & intense aromas of Rainier cherry and redcurrants open this Merlot-dominant wine.  This blend is supple and broad with notes of raspberry, strawberry, and cherry supported by an underlying streak of freshness and minerality.  The wine’s structure builds to a dense and rich mid-palate that leads into a lengthy finish of fresh red plums and baking spices. 71% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in 50% new barrels (90% French and 10% American) and 50% neutral barrels.
