92 Points – James Suckling “Plenty of blackcurrants and blueberries with a hit
of new wood, too. Medium body, slightly firm tannins, and a flavorful finish.”
91+ Points – Wine Advocate “Dark ruby, the 2017 Columbia Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon has a bold and structured nose with layers of complex aromas of juicy cherry,
blackberry, dusty plum, dried herbs, bitter dark chocolate and soft herbaceous green notes. Medium to
full-bodied, the wine is full in flavor, displaying a balanced structure that gives pleasure with qualities
of spiced black cherry, dusty plum skin and soft mocha expressions that continue to evolve on the
persistent, elongated finish. Give this delicious and succulent wine a try.
