Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Trothe Winery Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Washington State

It is time for my
#FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Horse Heaven Hills.

Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.

Very pretty nose of blueberries, black plums, black cherries, currants, oak, spices, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, wildflowers, vegetables, earth, dark coffee, dark chocolates and black pepper.
Showing great complexity already.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Very dry on the palate with currants, cherries, oak, light vanilla, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, black pepper, vegetables, herbs, chocolates, earth, black tea, wet leaves and pencil lead.

Nice length on the finish with dusty tannins and raspberries.

This is a very interesting Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State. Much earthier than I expected.

This 3-year-old is showing very nice complexity already. Still very young, and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Feels like a good quality Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Really enjoyed the nose here.

Needs 4 hours in a decanter to open up properly, and balance itself out.

Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I paired it with cheeses and crackers. Paired nicely with the Double Brie cheese.

Aged for 23 months in (77% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 9 barrels.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

$190.
