2007 Rôtie Cellars Northern Blend

**2007 Rôtie Cellars Northern Blend (USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley)** The nose was very creamy and floral. It also had quite a bit of tar and smoke mixed with dark fruit. It ended with pepper and spice. The palate was very rich with black currant and black cherry. The tar and pepper was very prominent on the mid-palate, and it finished with a spicy floral note.
