title: Brian Carter Cellars 2008 Byzance Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This is Brian Carter's Southern Rhône-influenced blend, which is comprised of 50% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 19% Mourvèdre, 6% Counoise and 3% Cinsault. Expressive aromas put the emphasis on bright berries that are annotated with baking spice, toast and a hint of forest leaf. This is complex and forward, with excellent balance and structure. The finish fades gently with a hint of anise.
