This is always hidden amongst the expensive Napa cabs at my tiny grocery store and I’d bet pound for pound this smokes half of them for a fraction of the price. Grippy, bright, and fresh- killer for $30.

Classic style Cabernet from three vineyards in Walla Walla. Black currant & ripe plums on the nose & palate with a dark mocha note emerging on the mid palate. Firm tannins with a healthy grip. Good complexity here & one that will get better with some more bottle age. Plenty to like right now though.
