New from CAKEBREAD CELLARS

From Cakebread
                           - their new Washington State Wine
2013 Mullan Road Cellars Red Wine...$42.99
Bright red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark raspberry, black cherry, chocolate and spices, lifted by a floral note. Smooth and fruity but also firm on the palate, with a complicating hint of coffee torrefaction. Tannins are a bit youthfully dry and oaky but this wine shows more charm than the 2012 release. A second bottle showed strong, building tannins but plenty of supporting fruit and excellent persistence.
Rated 91/100 Stephen Tanzer
