title: Gordon Estate 2009 Decadence Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This new cuvée is 60% Malbec, 35% Syrah and the rest Merlot. It seems to have been given extra barrel time, and the overpowering and heavy toast scents and flavors dominate. The raspberry fruit flavors are somewhat buried as a result, and the wine seems over-matched. But more bottle age may help to open it up.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Decadence
