Hogue Cabernet-Merlot 1998
Varietal: Bordeaux Red Blends
Vineyard: The Hogue Cellars
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
The blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is made to be approachable and ready to drink in its youth. The predominant flavors and aromas are bright raspberry fruit, vanilla, and oak. The wine has good weight and structure and bramble and herbal notes that add interest. With its bright fruit and moderate complexity, the wine is delicious by itself and also ideal for service with Greek salad, pastas, stuffed peppers and liberally herbed chicken dishes.
