When the price for Cabernet Sauvignon goes north of $40, you have a right to expect a lot of wine for your money. This one delivers. Remarkably complex and deeply fruited, this wine combines the ripe, rich fruit that characterizes the best Washington State cabs, but also balances it with a supple texture, avoiding the rough tannins that sometimes marred the big reds from this state. Unmistakably a big, New World cabernet that focuses on layers and layers of rich deep cabernet fruit and richness supported by enough smooth tannins to keep the wine refreshing and delicious sip after sip. One of the most impressive Washington State Cabernets we've tasted this year.
