This Cabernet bottling, sourced from throughout the Columbia Valley, contains 18% Merlot. The two varieties come together with just a whisper of Petit Verdot to craft a delicious, savoury Washington Cabernet—aromas of pencil lead, bramble fruits and leather finish with a kiss of wintergreen. The palate is soft and flashes elegance with ample structure and a richness that retains its fresh fruit character. Bramble berries, black plums and mocha dust are met with sage, white pepper and bay leaf. The finish flashes crushed slate, graphite and a mineral undertone.
