2017 Spring Valley Vineyards "Uriah" Walla Walla Valley Red Wine

92 Points from Vinous: "Bright dark red. Dark, perfumed aromas of blueberry, blackberry, boysenberry, bitter chocolate and black pepper. Rich, broad and seamless, boasting lovely retention of dark berry fruit complicated by spices, peppery herbs and flowers. A bit more filled in and sweet than the Cabernet Franc but still shows plenty of tannic spine and terrific rising length. Very classy, juicy, savory and bright. At a similar quality level as the superb 2016, which benefited from a drawn-out harvest. Serious but subtle fruit intensity here, enough to support the substantial dusty tannins, which saturate the tongue and front teeth." (11/20) 92 Points from Wine Spectator: "Lithe and refined, with expressive blueberry and black cherry flavors laced with bitter mocha, tobacco and spice notes, finishing with fine-grained tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2028. 3,600 cases made." (Web Only, 2021) 92 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Merlot ma
