Wine Review: This very dark midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla opens with blackberry and black currant bouquet with hints of violets, bay leaf, and wet slate. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and silky. The flavor profile is black cherry and black currant blend with notes of fine stone dust and blueberry. We also detected some hints of black licorice, espresso, and toasty oak in the mix. The finish is dry and its well-managed moderate fine and dusty tannins drift away nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Cab with New York strip steak. Enjoy – KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Trademark notes of blackberry and brambles welcome us back in this vintage. Raw vanilla, carob, and anise bring a richness to the nose. The palate is abundant with dark black fruit and spice. Thyme and sage make an appearance and lead to a muscular finish.
