title: Helix by Reininger 2011 Pomatia Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Here the dominant grape is Merlot, with smaller amounts of Syrah, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv and Petit Verdot. It falls to the herbal side in terms of flavor, ripeness and tannin, with some bitterness in the finish. On the plus side, it shows pleasing toasty scents and accents from some barrel aging.
variety: Red Blend
