Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with black fruits and oak, vanilla, spices, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, cola, earth and peppercorn.
Shows a great mouthfeel with nice complexity. Tangy and interesting. Spicy and rich with nice structure.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime (90 minutes).
A great sipping wine by the porch. Big, yet elegant. Alcohol is not too noticeable at this point.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, olives and fresh fruit.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$55.

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Nice nose of black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead, coffee, earth, herbs and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, tobacco, oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, leather, earth, dark coffee, pencil lead, bitter herbs, green vegetables, beef jerky and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Fruit forward with a Bordeaux feel. Spicy and interesting. I really enjoyed the nose here.
Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up. Much better after 2 hours of airtime. Would be interesting to try it in 3 to 5 years.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with lamb dishes. Paired well with the Brie cheese.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (93% new).
