Pendulum 2010 Red Wine

The Winery:  Pendulum
The Wine:  2010 Red Wine
The Price: $15.99 at Whole Foods

Pendulum is a Washington State winery, located in Walla Walla.  This wine is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 15% Grenache, 14% Mouvedre and 3% Malbec.  The wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for 19 months before bottling.  The bottle was stopped with a natural cork and decanted for an hour before tasting.

The wine is dark purple in color.  It has aromas of blueberry, cherry, leather and chocolate.  This is a very delightful wine.  It is bursting with fruit flavors of sour cherry and blackberry with subtle undertones of cocoa and vanilla.

This is a very good wine at a good price.  I recommend giving this one a try.  It's a fine example of the quality of Washington blended wines.
