Bookwalter Red Table Wine Lot #11

[Drew]

My first encounter with Bookwalter, a winery in the Columbia Valley. This is a blend of 37% Merlot, 33% Cab Franc, 28% Cab Sauvignon and 2% Sangioese. Very floral on the nose with dark plum, violet and vanilla. Flavors of mature dark fruit, soft and easy on the entry with the Cab and Cab Franc offering complexity in the mid with some earthiness. There is some oak but it's balanced and not overwhelming. A new world Rhone blend that's tasty. 13.9%Alc/vol. Got it in the bargin bin for $7.33
