Certified sommelier Brad Binko left the East Coast restaurant trade for the Walla Walla Community College winemaking program, and this work with Carm represents his fifth Platinum in the past five years. Dark purple fruit, tobacco leaf and white pepper aromas lead to rich flavors of boysenberry and President plum and a savory note that’s easy to enjoy because of the refined tannins and long finish. “From the dreamy aromatics to the long finish, this has all that you want,” one judge said.
