Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Tonight is a little chilly and I felt as though a nice Cabernet would do the trick to take the chill off. This Washington Cabernet Sauvignon is a very nice expression of what a good Cabernet should be like. At first opening there is good dark fruit, black currant, black cherries, blackberries, black plum, with purple flowers like violets and cassis. On tasting this beautifully aromatic wine my palate gives me a well balanced mix of black cherries, blackberry, and black currant. Tobacco comes in at the mid palate with coffee grounds, leather, and toasty oak. On the backend there is mushroom and cocoa with a long finish. There is a good smooth mouth feel with nice sandy tannins. I am thoroughly pleased with this wine and at $22.99 what I paid it is well worth the money.

One of the best values I've ever come across. Needs 5+ years to chill out before evolving into a well balanced WA cab. Dirty cranberries on the nose with a medium weight palate of dark fruit, spiced cranberries, earth, and chocolate. Very smooth and integrated.

excellent. Really liked it. Not sure cabs are my favorite but I did like this.
