2022 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting notes: This wine explodes with classic Cabernet aromas of concentrated black currant, black cherry liqueur, cigar box, fresh pipe tobacco, crushed violets, and pencil shavings. On the palate, this has a great blend of power and class, with textured and rich notes of black currant, Amorena cherries, licorice pastille, and a liquid mineral sensation on the finish. This wine shows a classic balance and elegance with fine tannins that will make it delicious young, but will also last for decades in the cellar.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc
96-98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
"...it has a Bordeaux-like nose of darker currants, lead pencil, damp earth, violets, and leafy tobacco. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Cabernet with ultra-fine tannins, beautiful overall purity and balance, and enough structure and depth. It reminds me of a touch of Château Montrose in Saint-Estèphe."
