title: Elevation Cellars 2008 Monolith Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Monolith is a Bordeaux-style blend—mostly Cabernet Sauvignon—that's dark, smooth and smoky. Citrus scents adorn the deep fruit, which resolves in earthy, substantial tannins. The wine spent 22 months in 100% new French oak, yet the barrel notes seem muted, and the intense fruit is certainly up to the challenge.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
