Pentad, Walla Walla Valley

Pentad, Walla Walla Valley Wine Details
Price: $50.00 per bottle

Description: A Walla Walla Valley blend of five varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon (55%}, Merlot (13%}, Carmenere (6%}, Cabernet Franc (13%}, and Malbec (13%}, the 2003 Pentad is the most open at release of the three vintages to date. It offeres and inviting accessibility, accenting warm, ripe tones and expansive fruit characters. Red and blackcurrant dominate the nose, interwoven with tropical passionfruit and hints of blueberry. Sweet baking spice and light notes of fennel and licorice round out the aroma. Red raspberry, vanillin, and light smoky notes by mouth. The structure is broad, balancesd and elegant, yet very persistent and generous. Overall, a beautiful representation of the nature of this very warm vintage year.
