Mullan Road Cellars Columbia Valley Red Blend 2014

"Odedi"

Let's end the weekend with a bang, with this delicious red blend. Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim. Great nose of dark fruits, blackberries, figs, raisins, cooked plums, cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, peppercorn, spices and graphite. Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, black cherries, chocolates, smoke, licorice, oak, vanilla, earth, leather, coke, coffee, peppercorn, spices and light vegetables. Medium plus in finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries. This is a nice surprise. A great red blend from Washington State. Showing great balance and mouthfeel. Spicy and still hot at the back of the throat with a nice finish. Drinking nicely now, and will get even better in the next 5 years. Good by itself or with food like BBQ steak. Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. Robert Parker 91 points. A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. Aged in French and American Oak barrels. 146 barrels produced. This is a delight. 14.3% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $45.

Midweight. Earthier of the other vintages I tried. Earl Gray tea, herbs, leather. #wbc18

Soft, a bit drier than the Washington wines I’ve come to know. I opened this puppy with great anticipation and it met and did not exceed expectations. A good summer sip with beef and potatoes stew.

Very well balanced, full bodied, but easy to drink ...

Cynthia Pierce

Went out on a limb with this wine due to the price tag. I am in love with this blend. A tad fruity, full bodied, enjoyed a few glasses on its own.

Dark, heavy, bold... very different Cab...I would recommend every Cab fan to at least try it.
