Dunham Cellars
XVII Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Sean Sullivan hits the nail on the head with “This 100% varietal wine from Lewis and Wallula vineyards beguiles with its aromas of vanilla bean, butterscotch, baking spice, cherry and cinnamon.” Although the oak treatment is heavy handed, it works. To add to his note, there’s noticeable mocha, cassis, and currant, along with fleshy peach interspersed here and there. And a super easy drinker.

Raspberries, blackberry jam, and cola on the nose, bitter dark chocolate and mint on the palate, elevated tannins and acidity.

Long lingering red fruit forward. Walla Walla continues to impress.

2011. Great cab fruit, med finish, bit of spice, especially on the finish. Pretty good overall, but a bit pricey
