Spring Valley Vineyard 'Uriah', Walla Walla Valley 2018

93 Points Jeb Dunnuck

More Merlot-dominated, the 2018 Uriah is a complex blend of 46% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 17% Petit Verdot, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s another impressive Bordeaux blend from this team that has impressive purity in its red and black fruits as well as complex notes of dried herbs, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and loamy earth. As with all the releases here, it’s balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. Drink it any time over the coming 15 years.
