Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
More restrained than I had expected. Dark fruit, herbs and baking chocolate. Tight. Infanticide. Time will reward.

Drank 5/28/28. Thanks to all the Vets out there on this Memorial Day.
This is the Yakima Valley Cab. It came recommended from a friend who said it was more old world in style. I think it bridges the gap nicely. Initially I was concerned as this gave more spice and green bell peppers. This blows off after around 40 minutes, revealing layers of black and blue fruit, chocolate ganache, spice, and some green hints when poured from the bottle. Not an incredibly intense nose, but quite complex. Flavors of blueberry, plum, and black fruit are backed up by medium + tannins. Some earthy notes, with spice and a mix of black and blue fruit on the finish.
3.5/22/8/4/3.5 +60 = 91 pts

Not fussy or too complex but delicious. Blackberry, integrated tannin. Good value.

Sep 24th, 2017Total wine에서 39.99에 구입! 초반엔 매우 fresh한 과일향을 느낄수 있었다. 블랙베리, 오크, 후추 향을 느낄 수 있다. 다만 반병 뜸 먹었을 때에 향이 많이 없어지고 달콤한 맛과 하나로 뭉개진 과일 맛만이 남았다. 그래도 오랜 만에 마셔본 상큼한 와인이었다!
