Wine Review: This dark garnet Cabernet Sauvignon from Bledsoe Family opens with a black currant and black tea bouquet with hints of cigar box, black cherry, and rose hips. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, bright and fresh. The flavor profile is cedar and black currant blend with notes of stone dust and black plum. We also detected some hints of saline, oolong tea, and black licorice. The finish is dry, and its flavors and moderate chewy tannins stick around for a very long time. The Tasting Panel would pair this Cab with a Florentine steak. Enjoy – KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: This wine has been on fire and 2021 is a stunning vintage. Perfectly ripe plums, blackberry, and memories of walking through a native sagebrush field in Walla Walla on a warm fall day. Rich and concentrated from the warmth of the vintage, this wine has fine grained tannin that builds and evolves, has red fruit, subtle hints of graphite and charcoal from great French oak and Italian concrete, and lasts for a long time. Enjoy this new vintage now through the next twenty years!
