2006 Waters "Interlude" Red Meritage
Walla Walla, Washington
$25
This
fantastic red blend is made from 53% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and
7% Cabernet Franc. The brick-like color can be attributed to the Merlot from
Seven Hills Vineyard. The aromatics and flavors in this wine are nearly
identical (a byproduct of natural balance) - cherries, currants and
pomegranate are combined with herbal notes of anise, black licorice and
dusty earth. The fruit lingers for several minutes in an exceptionally
long finish. While it's made to be approachable upon release, there are
so many layers in this wine that one can't help but think it will
evolve beautifully over many years. Stunning wine for its price.
