title: Mark Ryan 2012 The Dissident Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This blend holds 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 12% Malbec, 11% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, all from top Red Mountain vineyards. The wine shows notes of dried herbs, bay leaf, red fruit and dark plum. Considering the fruit sources, it's surprisingly reserved in its styling, very easy drinking with a light squeeze of tannins and a lingering finish.
variety: Red Blend
