Abeja
Heather Hill Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Nose of black currants, black plums, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, herbs and black pepper.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, light oak, earth, chocolates, spices, coffee, licorice, tobacco leaf, vegetables and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley, on the Oregon side. Elegant and smooth, with a nice mouthfeel.
Rich, but not extracted. Spicy and entertaining. Balanced and complex.
Robert Parker 94 points. Wine Enthusiast 94 points.
This 6 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
A nice sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (48% new) French oak barrels for 21 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.

Excellent wine (that could stand to age at least a few more years)! Cherry and cola notes are dominant on initial palette and the cherry lingers long after swallowing. Red plum, tobacco, and a hint of sage/herbaceous flavors round out the rest of the taste experience. Nice mouthfeel, medium firm tannins, and smooth finish make for a very pleasurable quaff. Yum!

He bigger of the 2 Abeja Cabs but still immensely approachable with an incredibly long finish.

keeps getting better and better. one of my favorite Walla Walla Cabs ever. This wine is every bit as good if not better that Q. Creek and Leonetti. Sorry, score hounds, it just is. It's balanced.
