Occasional wine note

This is a Washington Cabernet that just will disappoint on its own or with your favorite steak dinner. Loads of fruit here, but the oak imparted aromas, flavors, and textures create a harmonious complexity that just work pretty darn well.

What experts say about this wine

Decanter

Ripe blue and blackberry notes with floral quality, minty cherries and elegant oak spices undertones. Chocolatey texture on the palate, dense and concentrated, rounded. Dense core of dark plummy fruit supported by a refreshing acidity.

Wine Advocate

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot. The nose bursts with bright red confectionery fruit aromas and succulent, plump cherry tones with dusty florals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine shines with purity and freshness on the palate and ends with a spicy, food-friendly finish. It's a fantastic wine that spent 18 months in 45% new French barrels.
