Mt. Defiance, "Brimstone," Red Wine, Columbia Valley

52% Syrah / 25% Merlot / 18% Cabernet Sauvignon / 5% Pinot Noir

 

Cassis, berries, ripe red plums and pomegranate show brightly in the nose, complemented by moderate smoke and spice from barrel aging along with attractive roasted coffee bean notes. The medium-full body unfolds to expose layers of plum, berry and dark chocolate flavors completed by a long, solid finish kissed with oak.
