Desert Wind Wahluke Slope Washington State "RUAH" Proprietary 2014 Red Wine, $9.34-$21.99, 89 points, poured a Bordeaux purple/red with a broad clear rim and a glass bowl raining sticky thick legs.
The bouquet was a lovely floral and mulling spice potpourri with hints of blueberry and cedar.
Medium-plus bodied, dry, tannic (time should trim), and appropriately acidic red wine delivering a subtle blend of flavors reflective of the bouquet.
Finished long on mulberry and nuanced tobacco, plum, and easy spice notes.
The 14.6% alcohol well complemented this style of wine.
Varietals were 41.5% Merlot, 25.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.7% Cabernet Franc, 8.1% Malbec, 7.9% Syrah, and 2.3% other reds.
