Deep, deep purple in color, almost black; blackberries, black plums, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like camphor, black pepper, black currant, and blueberries with a long finish. I love it. What an interesting wine. — 2 days ago

Estate Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Amavi Cellars Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Washington State



This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley in Washington State.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite, dark coffee and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Washington Cabernet is good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Fruit forward and rich.

Very approachable now, and will be nice to revisit it in 5 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in (29% new) French Oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$40.
