Wine: 2010 Kestrel Tribute Red
Region: Yakima Valley, Washington State
Grape Varieties: 52% Mourvedre , 44% Merlot
Obtained from: Purchased at Total Wine & More
Price: $20
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Appearance: Clear, dark purple in the center with a pink rim.
Aroma: Black cherry, vanilla, spice, black pepper, dried herbs.
Taste: Lots of fruit, nicely balanced, but a very short finish.
The Grade: I give this one a B. Very tasty, but the short finish is a bit disappointing. Not a bad choice for a pre-dinner wine to serve with some simple snacks, or after dinner with a chuck of dark chocolate.
