Note di degustazione
The 2006 Red is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot aged in 73% new oak for 33 months. This loaded effort delivers a sexy concoction of toasty oak, exotic spices, and assorted black fruits that titillates the nose. Deftly combining power and elegance, it should see its 20th birthday in peak form. The Corliss wines made with Bordeaux varietals are fermented in barrel while the Syrah is fermented in concrete tank. They all receive extended barrel aging (30-33 months) and time in bottle prior to release. Tel. (509) 525-5215; www.corlissestates.com

(a blend of 30% merlot, 26% cabernet franc, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 14% malbec and 10% petit verdot) Full, bright red. Rich, warm aromas of plum, cherry, redcurrant, tobacco, cocoa powder and minerals. Plump, broad, rich and aromatic in the mouth; really spreads out to coat the palate. At once pliant and focused, with impressive fruit intensity. Finishes broad and very long, with a fine dusting of tannins.
(a five-variety Bordeaux blend, aged in 73% new oak) Good full, deep red. Aromas of plum, redcurrant and licorice complemented by sexy spices. Tight and minerally, with a deep core of spice. This really spreads out to coat the palate without leaving any impression of weight. Quite claret-like in its minerality and suavely tannic finish.
