A glorious 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, you are immediately struck by the rich sagebrush and anise tones on the nose, with a great wall of dark fruits holding everything in place. The palate is very smooth with refined tannins that mingle with black raspberry cordial, cigar box, blackcurrants and chocolate covered espresso bean flavours. The long finish lingers.

CELLAR SELECTION

A dark raspberry aroma is one thing. But when you add aromas of earth, mint, rosemary and the sweet citrus scent of a guarana perfume, you have something amazing. A lightning bolt of acidity teams up with grippy tannins to support blackberry and black tea flavors. The texture is still a bit chewy. Enjoy

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is a delicious wine to consume even at the three-year mark. On the nose, it takes on heady cassis, anise, dark chocolate shaving and underbrush undertones. Nicely textured, with plenty of mouthwatering acidity, this beautiful wine is already singing in high octave right now.

Dried flowers combine with black cherries, sawdust and cocoa as the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly unfolds in the glass. This washes across the palate with ease, displaying a balanced mix of red and black wild berries, giving way to dark inner florals toward the close. A web of fine tannins is left to linger as the 2019 finishes perfumed and classically dry. There is such a pretty balance here

Cellar Selection

Barrel aromas are at the fore initially, with notes of roasted coffee bean, vanilla, chocolate and char in front of plum and cherry. Plump, juicy fruit and barrel flavors follow, with the tannins providing a pleasing squeeze. Give it additional time in the bottle or decant to see it at its best.

All varietal and brought up in 25% new oak, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley offers lots of typicity in its ripe blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and violet-tinged aromas and flavors. With medium-bodied richness, wonderful purity of fruit, no hard edges, and a clean, classy, elegant style, it’s well worth seeking out and I suspect will keep for 10-12 years.

A more fruit-forward Cabernet bottling in comparison to the Walla Walla designate, this Cabernet is approachable and juicy. Aromas of violet are followed on by blackberry and mint. The palate is lively and fresh fruited with juicy blackberries, ripe tay berries and notes of roasted coffee bean. The finish is met by a touch of smoked cedar plank and streaks of graphite.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is slightly more focused and elegant compared to the Walla Walla release, but both are beautiful wines. Cassis, black raspberries, spice box, and dried herbs all define the nose, and is has ripe tannins and a balanced, elegance profile that will keep for a decade.
