2003 Helix Pomatia Columbia Valley
Friday, February 09, 2007
I would like to thank my friend Kent out in Seattle for this bottle of wine. Its from the Reininger Vineyard in Walla Walla, Washington. The grapes come from Columbia Valley and are a blend of the grapes below. Flavorwise its big, bold and zesty. You have a great nose and tons of fruit up front. They linger thru the finish but are structured enough not to be too jammy. You have some black cherry, spice and low tannins. Reds like these are great all year round, not too powerful for the summer but still big enough to enjoy on those cold winter nights.
