Dark Star, Red Table Wine, Columbia Valley

Dark Star, Red Table Wine, Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: This lovely red wine is a Rhone varietal blend of 48% Syrah, 28% Mourvedre, 14% Grenache and 10% Counnoise. Fruit was sourced mainly from Ciel du Cheval, but also from Destiny Ridge, Haak, Elephant Mountain, Naches Heights and Vignes de Marcoux Vineyards. It has intense pie-cherry and cassis aromatics; copious red fruit and lush crème de cassis flavors; a glycerin-infused full body and a lively natural acid and chalky tannin structure. Drinking well now for its lush fruit, but this well-endowed red should age beautifully for 6-7 years beyond vintage. It is a food-friendly wine that matches perfectly with anything charbroiled! Try with cinnamon chicken covered with a apple cider reduction sauce. PPW 7/05
