Large variety Mark Ryan Winery Numbskull Bordeaux Blend, Walla Walla Valley, USA 2022

76% Cabernet Sauvignon 19% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby in color, this powerful Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc has beautiful aromas of black plum, vanilla bean, cedar chest, and worn leather. The palate is boldly structured yet incredibly balanced, with sturdy tannins providing an age-worthy backbone complemented by refreshing acidity. Lush flavors of fresh black cherry, ripe black plum, vanilla cream, and cigar box continue the rich and delicious style of previous BDX vintages.
