Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Showing a beautiful nose, once it opens up.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, cola, peppercorn, vegetables, spices and black tea.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley is drinking very nicely now.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had it 3 years ago, and it is drinking very similar.

Needed 30 minutes to open up, and remove some of the bitterness.

The nose is very complex at this point. Really beautiful.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 18 months in (35% new) French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45 (current vintage).

Columbia Valley Chardonnay 2022

Delectable Wine
9.0

The 2022 Chardonnay wafts up with a lovely blend of ripe apple, mint and hints of vanilla bean. It offers a pretty inner sweetness that complements its ripe peach and citrus sorbet tones. This tapers off crisply refreshing and long, with a tactile mineral tinge. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2024) — 8 months ago

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

At this price point I don’t think that Napa Cab can touch this quality and appeal. Gives what Cabernet drinkers want and saves you the extra $10-20 you may pay elsewhere — 3 months ago
