title: Brian Carter Cellars 2009 Byzance Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This is Brian Carter's Southern Rhône-influenced blend. The 2009 is 53% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 18% Mourvèdre, 4% Cinsault and 2% Counoise, sourced from seven different vineyards. It all comes into focus somehow, yielding a seductive wine with a gentle intensity. Tart red currant, pomegranate and raspberry flavors are lightly spicy and dusted with pretty herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Woodinville?
