Columbia Valley

2006 Reserve Walter Clore Red Wine

Tasting Notes

A classic Bordeaux-style winemaking protocol enhances the aromatics of slight spice, earth, coconut, and chocolate in this red blend. The palate is perfectly balanced with subtle oak notes and flavors of currant, cocoa and dark berries that lead to a lingering finish.
