"This has a perfumed nose of lavender, nutmeg, chocolate cherries, dark raspberries and blackcurrants. Firm and well-framed, with a medium to full body and compact tannins. Chewy finish. 100% cabernet sauvignon. Drink in 2024." James Suckling 91 points Drink 2024-29

The mouthfeel of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon's is as slippery as an eel wrapped in saran wrap. The wine possesses the dusty sensuality of picking overly ripe blackberries by the side of a rural back road. Huckleberry jam, black coffee and marzipan flavors slip and slide all over the palate.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley opens with an enticing bouquet of sweet spices, lavender and dusty black currant. Racy and sleek, this excels with its blend of energy and elegance, casting mineral-tinged red and black fruits across the palate. The 2020 finishes pleasantly chewy and structured, with a resonant licorice tinge.
