North By Northwest (NxNW)
The Explorer Series Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
A bit of a muted nose, showing a little fresh fig and olive.
Red raspberry, blueberry skin, a hint of mint, good mouthfeel, and dry your mouth out pucker up tannins.
A bit pricey for what the wine is.

This needs some serious decanting. Best on the third day when all the finer nuances have been revealed. Black cherries, strawberries, mocha, oak, smoke and a touch of mint. Balanced and smooth.

Thick and lush. It needs to be aired for at least 2 days. Solid bottle for the inland grapes from the King family.

First time eating at this popular local joint. Small but decent wine list and excellent friendly service.

2013 vintage very nice. Great with a rib eye. Not quite as bold as a good California Cab.
