Nicely peppered, tannic slutty though (me likey). Yum!

This is a near perfect cocktail Cab, medium heavy bodied with rich tannins and dark mocha cherry flavors.

Horse heaven hills Cabernet.
According to their tasting notes: "Intensely juicy aromas of red and black currant, huckleberry jam, and red licorice take center stage as a subtle and enticing bouquet of graphite, smoke, and dusty loam perform on the peripheral.

The palate is fresh and lithe for it's class, balancing fine tannins, moderate alcohol, and elegant acidity through a lengthy and delicious finish."
I thought it was not much better than a comparable cab by Columbia Crest H3 from 2012. I think it edged the H3 but is nearly 3 times as much. I preferred their cab from the Wahluke Slope in past years.
