Final-Final Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Washington, USA
Revisiting vintage - Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah fruit - cherry, raspberry, cassis, plum, black pepper, seed tannin finish but more black pepper than bitterness at this point. So much fruit, it makes we wonder why I mostly tasted wood three years back (though it’s definitely got some wood) But the fruit recedes after an hour, and there’s still all that wood...

Mar 12th, 2021Deep purple red. Notes of eucalyptus, cassis, mushroom, wood and cherry in nose. Chewy tannins, cherry and wood flavors dominate. Good fruit with length but overoaked for my taste. 8.5/10 at first opening. Much improved fruit, wood flavors substantially diminished after 24 hours. Requires decanting, 9.1/10

I just spent the whole day bottling this wine, so this is hot off the presses and boy am I tired. Big and powerful, but not over the top. Obviously needs some time.
