title: Three Rivers 2008 Svelte Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: This new Bordeaux-style red could technically be labeled Cabernet Sauvignon, as it accounts for 82% of the blend. Pungently smoky, the impression of charred wood penetrates into the deep core of cassis and black cherry. Dark and quite tannic, it remains to be seen if all that barrel toast will ultimately meld into the rest of the wine.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Svelte
