Radius Reserve – Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Columbia Valley – Washington, USA 🇺🇸

Overview
Washington’s Columbia Valley has built a strong reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon that balances New World ripeness with Old World restraint. Thanks to wide diurnal shifts — hot days and cool nights — the grapes develop both generous fruit and refreshing acidity, a hallmark of the region. Radius Reserve 2022 captures that balance with polish and ease.

Aromas & Flavors
Ripe black cherry, blackberry, and cassis lead, accented by mocha, vanilla, and light oak toast. Hints of dried herbs and graphite underline its Washington character.

Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and a lively backbone of acidity. Smooth, velvety texture with a long finish of fruit and spice in harmony.

Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled steak, prime rib, or short ribs. Also complements mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, and aged cheddar.

Verdict
A Columbia Valley Cabernet that overdelivers with plush fruit and structure. Versatile and crowd-pleasing, it showcases why Washington remains one of the most exciting U.S. regions for Cabernet. 🍷cheers! — 21 days ago

More expensive version of the radius bottle. Tart cherry taste, easy to drink on its own. Paid $18. — 9 years ago

Peaches, apricots, lemon, stony. Refreshing acidity with nice wright and length. Really delicious Chard. Sadly the last Hyde Chard from Rudius. Buy it if you can. — 9 years ago

Wax on, wax off: this evening I took a rare field-trip to Waxhaw, which is way beyond my typical radius of existence. I had planned an anniversary dinner at Heritage, and my good friend "Coach Witty" encouraged me to run a mile race with her at track night in those parts beforehand (why not run a 5min race right before a nice dinner?!) I ended up winning and getting a PR, and Heritage was worth the trek. Food Babe walked in and sat down next to us - hopefully she only had good things to say about Paul Verica's passion project, as I loved it!! As for the wine...I have been asked, "what's a good wine to give as a nice gift?"....and I often suggest Caymus cab. It's always solid, a fruit bomb, and elegantly-finished. A known quantity. Perfectly paired with the local summer vegetables and my steak. And last but not least, let's all raise a glass to Pat Summit - the winningest coach in D1 history to date - that certainly gains my respect. May her legacy live on #caymus #theextramile — 9 years ago
