Holler Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The 2016 ‘Holler’ Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Columbia Valley. The nose is terrific with spicebox, black tea and pipe tobacco aromas that connect with black fruits. The palate shows a soft texture and wonderful mouthfeel. Black tea, blackberry cobbler and chocolate flavors all mingle nicely. Drink 2018-2026- 92

Smells savory, really tannic and meaty. Lovely.

Clear Ruby/garnet. Intense notes of tobacco, green pepper, blackberry. On the palate, medium+ alcohol, high acidity, medium+ tannins, dark cherry, ripe blackberry.
Right as I opened it it showed vanilla notes but an hour of decanting moved it to more leathery notes.
Fantastic with a steak. Could age a couple more years but might turn into prune notes if kept too long.

Smoky and rich. Needs decanting for 2 hours min to open up.

14.5%. More chemical than fruit but no bad after taste. A decent cab.

I ain't no holler back girl, but I may become one, cuz I'll call this Washington a Cab any time, tell it to open up to me and pour its heart and soul into mine.
