Corliss Estate Red (2013)

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, the 2013 Columbia Valley Red Wine from Corliss sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as textbook notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil shaving, smoke tobacco and hints of leafy herbs. Full-bodied, concentrated, pure and incredibly elegant, this is a gorgeous red that will benefit from short term cellaring and keep for two decades or more.
