The 2018 CVR Columbia Valley Red Wine opens with dark red and black fruit compote, elements of dusty red and purple flowers and notes of sweet baking spices that waft from the glass. The blend is medium to full-bodied and offers a balanced and delightfully complex mouthfeel with succulent tannins that will remain food-friendly for the next decade. It’s juicy and open-knit and ready for action.

A compelling wine, beautifully proportioned and detailed, with a polished texture and expressive flavors of blackberry, toasty mocha and orange zest. Gathers speed and tension toward fine-grained tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2031. 5,800 cases made.??–TF??Region: Washington / Columbia Valley Select to Add
