2007 Columbia Crest Walter Clore Red, Columbia Valley

This wine is dedicated to the lifelong work of Washington State’s pioneering viticultural researcher who shaped the state’s wine industry and is recognized as the “Father of Washington Wine." This classic Bordeaux-style wine opens with intense aromatics of caramel, dark fruits and a hint of vanilla. Blackberry and dark chocolate flavors on the palate lead to a soft but powerful and complex finish, lingering with notes of exotic spices. This wine is sheer elegance.
