WTN: NV Bookwalter subplot #23 red wine

by Drew Hall » Sun Aug 01, 2010 11:15 am

Columbia Valley, Washington.
I've always loved Bookwalter wines and have never seen this one. 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Syrah, 13% Malbec, 9% Petit Verdot, 4% Barbera and 3% Cabernet Franc.....whew!
Delicious red blend showing deep dark berry notes,red berry, spice, chocolate and earthy nuances. Served with the best hamburgers that I've ever had made with Heartbrand ground beef. 14.8% Alc/vol.
$19

Like the title...so that would be their "red table wine". These blends are unique to Washington, so far as I know, and nearly every producer makes one, sometimes NV (a blend of vintages that is) and sometimes not, but what they are is an amalgamation of what's left over at the end of the season that didn't make it into their premium bottlings. Often quite interesting.
