$34; Scientists refer to brown bears as
ursus arctos, so you can see how this Woodinville winery arrived
at the proprietary name for a blend of Cab (72%), Merlot (10%),
Cab franc (8%), Petit Verdot (7%), and Malbec - all from
Stillwater Creek Vineyard in the Frenchman Hills north of the Wahluke
Slope. Raspberry jam, quince paste, maraschino cherries and pie
cherries rush your senses. A clean sweetness from blackberries resides
in the midpalate with light citrus, new leather and green peppercorn
notes in the finish. "This is youthful fun stuff that should age
nicely," said one judge. Try with a hearty stew in a bread bowl or
alongside broiled meats. |
