點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2203

The one recommended red wine is the 2006 Apex II Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 9% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Malbec. It delivers earthy, herbal, spicy, red fruit aromas leading to a medium-bodied, nicely balanced wine with good volume and length. Drink this easy-going Cabernet over the next 6 years. www.preceptbrands.com

This is a straightforward style of cool-climate Washington Cabernet. The herbal character of the grape comes through cleanly, with tart red fruits, hints of mushroom and just a bit of dill. Earthy and astringent, it’s a wine that would sit solidly alongside a basic bottle of Bordeaux.——P.G.(5/1/2007)—— 86

Yakima valley cab can often have a distinct herbal edge. This wine skates on that border, but never strays too far over it. Medium weight and relatively soft, it has light cranberry fruit and hints of mushroom and woodsy flavors.——P.G.(4/1/2005)—— 87
