Tablas Creek Vineyard Cotes de Tablas 2004 Wine Review (NW)

Tasting notes:

Wild red berries, currants, and red licorice on the nose

Very smooth texture on the palate

Grapey finish with more red berries, licorice, and some spice

Here's a nice wine crafted from a list of Rhone grape varietals: grenache, syrah, counoise, and mourvedre. It's ultra smooth and versatile for $14 or so. Raise a glass!
