Drink Washington State 2017 Visit Wahluke Slope Carmenere (Wahluke Slope)
This wine turns this often-green variety on its head, showing a lot of primary fruit. Dark plum and spice aromas are followed by plump blue fruit flavors, showing a bit of grit on the finish. There's a lot to like. Sean P. Sullivan
