Tried this at a tasting in a big box store. Dark red with aromas of dark fruits sweet spice. The palate shows black cherry flavors with vanilla spice. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with peppery oak notes. Enjoy now, no aging potential. Ok for price. Tasting Sample.

Radius Reserve – Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Columbia Valley – Washington, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
Washington’s Columbia Valley has built a strong reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon that balances New World ripeness with Old World restraint. Thanks to wide diurnal shifts — hot days and cool nights — the grapes develop both generous fruit and refreshing acidity, a hallmark of the region. Radius Reserve 2022 captures that balance with polish and ease.
Aromas & Flavors
Ripe black cherry, blackberry, and cassis lead, accented by mocha, vanilla, and light oak toast. Hints of dried herbs and graphite underline its Washington character.
Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and a lively backbone of acidity. Smooth, velvety texture with a long finish of fruit and spice in harmony.
Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled steak, prime rib, or short ribs. Also complements mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, and aged cheddar.
Verdict
A Columbia Valley Cabernet that overdelivers with plush fruit and structure. Versatile and crowd-pleasing, it showcases why Washington remains one of the most exciting U.S. regions for Cabernet. 🍷cheers!

I thought it would be fuller, medium body but hints of red fruits, easy to drink

A perfect soft red journey thru a flavorful juicy red fruit experience. Nice peppery/earth note at the end that serves as the jump ramp to the next sip after you let it longer for a bit in the aftertaste. Splendid glass from WA!
