Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon

Abeja

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Nose of red and blue fruits with light wood, coffee, bell pepper, black pepper and spices.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, earth, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, herbs, vegetables and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This 10 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley in Washington State is still drinking very nicely. Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and interesting. Showing lots of earth notes at this point.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot. Aged in (70% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$70.

Very good vintage but seems a bit off. More fruit forward than expected. May need time in cellar. @home as part of a new world bordeaux blend wine blind tasting. — 2 months ago

Hedges Family Estate

Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Dark ruby in color with a reddish/brick rim.

Showing its age on the nose and full in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, black tea and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Elegant and earthy with chocolate notes.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is complex with a soft mouthfeel, and feels much older than its age.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 5 barrels.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

9.0

Strong red blend and gentle tannins for not a lot of age, and for WA state for that matter. Was busy discussing business while drinking this so copying web tasting notes: “blackberry, marionberry, cassis, dried herbs, olive tapenade, cedar, vanilla, and coffee.” — 6 months ago

Indian Wells Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Not bad, more acid and fruit , less tannin and lighter than Napa to me. Still ok though, had worse. Prefer a Routestock or Cathedral Creek or Joel Gott. — 6 days ago

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Young, but solid. Pepper, dark berries (something wild), bitter chocolate. I love how Montana restaurants often have good, inexpensive Walla-Walla wine. It’s good to be back. 90! — a month ago
