    Guardian 2005 Conner Lee Vineyard Gun Metal Red Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

    This Bordeaux blend is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 9% Cab Franc. It's a well-crafted mix of cassis and blue fruits, with well-managed, polished tannins. There are traces of leaf and stem, highlights rather than failings, and the wine holds together as a polished and seamless work.
