    Sparkman 2006 Stella Mae Red Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

    This is a hefty, chewy wine, whose alcohol flirts with 15%, but whose ample fruit is buttressed with chalk, earth, steel and tannin. Dark and loaded with smoky graphite, it should be decanted for some hours before serving. How will it cellar? Could go for decades, but it's too soon to call.
