The Ghost of 413, 2005
This Columbia Valley Red from "The Giant Wine Company", is crafted by Chris Gorman and Mark Ryan McNeilly. It is a blend of cabernet, merlot and cab franc, aged 20 months in French oak. This is a delightful wine that showcases Washington State's excellent 2005 vintage. This wine needs a little time to "open-up" and reveal its full tilt black cherry and plum flavors enveloped in a caressing layer of fine grained tannins. The nose is sweet berries and brown sugar. The oak is subtle and does not overwhelm the great fruit qualities. Only about 2000 cases were made and it sells for about $15, in the Seattle area. A real beauty, don't be afraid of this ghost!
