2011 Quilceda Creek "Palengat Vineyard" Horse Heaven Hills Bordeaux Blend This is a killer wineGood full ruby red. Dark, inviting aromas of blackcurrant, black raspberry and cocoa powder. Shows the lush, fine grained texture of topnotch Merlot, not to mention the black fruit and dark chocolate notes of the variety, along with sexy floral lift from the Cabernet Franc. Seriously good, gripping wine with terrific density and chocolatey length. (ST)
