Dark ruby in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is robust with black and dark red fruit tones, offering aromas of dusty rocks with soft herbaceous hints and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is dusty with the green notes popping up first, followed by tones of dusty dark plum skin, flavors of cherry skin and a tight tannic edge. The wine lingers with flavors of bitter dark chocolate across the finish. Just over 13,000 bottles were made.

A lively red, focused and plump, with black cherry, toasted spice and cedar notes that gather elegant structure toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2029. 1,250 cases made.??–TF??Region: Washington / Columbia Valley Select to Add

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. It opens with aromas of red plum, blackcurrant, cassis, dried earth, sweet oak, and floral tones. The palate shows the wine turning more red fruited and lighter, becoming slightly more tart and revealing good focus and balance. Subtle spice tones build on the mid-palate, and the wine finishes with a firm tannic grip. I am positive that this will get better in a year or two. 1,250 cases made.
