Wines from Washington tend to have more acidity than their Californian cousins and can make for perfect foods wines especially grilled foods during summer months. The crisp flavors will not overpower the mouth to feel to heavy on the palette. This wine starts with a great nose of bing cherries and cedar which lead into a very fruit forward medium bodied wine. Layers of fresh raspberries and blueberries flow into the white pepper and leather notes with each sip. The finish is supple with the red fruit notes resurfacing and the tannins being kept in check by a black tea like acidity. This is a terrific Cabernet for our summer months that tastes like it should be priced much higher.
