14 Hands Hot to Trot Red Blend 2012
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThis red blend is a mix of merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and 'other' grapes sourced across Washington's Columbia Valley. Light smoke, branch, deep berry and light leaf aromas. The full, smooth palate carries sweet smoked black berries, cherry jam, brambles, sweet baking spices, red liquorice and cracked pepper and roast coffee on the finish. Tannins are a bit ragged and the wine is a bit worked, but you will enjoy this punchy red blend with chargrilled beef or lamb burgers.Tasted: 21 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
