2004 Spring Valley Vineyard Uriah, Walla Walla Valley, USA 750ml

The 2004 Uriah is 60% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers a splendid perfume of pain grille, red currants, and black cherry. Structured and rich, with gobs of ripe fruit, this lengthy wine does a splendid impersonation of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. (JM)
