Reininger Helix Pomatia 2005; Columbia Valley, Washington

BIG is the only way to describe this wine; it has that huge concentration that seems so prevelant in the 2005 Washington wines. This blend is 53% Cab, 31% Merlot, 8% Syrah, 8% Cab Franc.
I got a mouthful of currant and plum, with nice hints of cocoa and earth. Nice tannins, Heavy bodied, would cost 4x as much if it were labeled Napa. A very nice fall wine that would go great with a hearty stew, or a steak. A nice buy at around $20.
