Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon wafts up with a pretty bouquet, showing rosy florals, sage and crushed raspberries. It soothes the senses with the silkiest textures as a potent, red fruit wave washes across the palate. An herbal flourish lingers as this finishes peppery and lightly structured. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)

Cherry cola poured over melted caramel. It tastes like a tootsie pop.

Sometimes, no matter how much you hope it isn’t so, a wine just isn’t that good. To make matters worse, the label way out kicked its coverage.

If Donald Trump becomes President, I'll need this wine to get me through the dark years ahead.

This wine is not my style, consisting of licorice, tar, and bramble flavors and giving some dark fruit hints on its bouquet. The finish was unremarkable with firm tannin and spices. It overwhelmed a traditional French balsamic chicken dish that other Cabs usually get along with. Overall, a strong Cab you have to be on the mood for.

I love this wine. It was very smooth and had a rich bold cab presence. I love bold and I love the rich berry and earthy leathery flavors.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with plums, cherries, oak, blueberries, vanilla, licorice, cloves, chocolates, mocha, spices, green vegetables, bitter herbs, light barnyard and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, coffee, oak, cloves, light vanilla, vegetables, wet leaves, bitter herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Medium on the finish with soft tannins, bitter herbs and tangy cranberries.
This is a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State. Not fully balanced yet, with a nice mouthfeel and mild complexity.
Still young and bitter on the mid palate. Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature and remove some of bitterness.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.
I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$20.
