title: Cadaretta 2008 Springboard Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Though given extra bottle age prior to release, this remains a bit stiff and tannic. Floral highlights and smoky tannins book-end the black fruits. Deep cassis and a bit of licorice wind through the finish. This is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Springboard
