Lujon Wine Cellars
Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Loads of dark cassis and blackberry along with smoky graphite, iodine, and black olive on the nose. Mouthfilling and concentrated yet not blocky, it’s pretty chiseled and has zingy acids. Flavors have some dark fruit but come in more on the olivey savory side. Lengthy finish with lots of tannin that still needs to resolve, this wine has the balance and structure to age and improve for several more years yet is really enjoyable now.

Perfect nose of great and subtle fruit.
Like the first whiff of my grocery store fruit aisle.
Dark berry skin, dark fruit, no sugars, yet full of dark flavor. Acidity and tannin playing very well with one another, like two kids jumping rope.
Winery, worth looking into.

The nose of a cooling blackberry pie on a windows ledge.
This has heft, and you can tell the love that went into this. All the dark berries, yet in the brighter side - elegant, I wish I had bought a case. So, so good. Tangy lip smacking acidity with tannin overtures.

Surprisingly good cab! Plenty of body and acidity.

Met a fabulous couple representing this winery at the Uncorked KC event. They told us about the history of this winery and the awesome owners. This particular wine was so inviting and bold. Hints of tobacco, blackberry and leather, this wine is going to be a staple for us!

2015- strong raspberry, followed by dark cherry. Strong but smooth tannins.

I had pretty modest expectations and this one frankly shocked me at how good it turned out to be. Right off the bat, luscious blackberry, smooth tannins and surprising complexity and length for a $25 Cab, and for which I paid less. This could easily become a house wine. Lucy approves!

This is from the Oregon side of Walla Walla.
