This is a yummy wine from Columbia Valley in Washington state. Washington state has become a fairly popular wine region lately. Columbia Valley lies in the South-Western part of Washington state and produces a large range of grape varieties.
The 2009 Murray Cuvee is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Merlot (47%), Cabernet Franc (16%), Malbec (7%) and Petit Verdot (10%).
The color is purple red with a nice bouquet of cherry. The wine is medium body with a smooth and velvety mouth feel, bursting with nicely layered berry fruit (late harvest almost).
