Basel Cellars 2005 Pheasant Run Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Pheasant Run Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Basel Cellars / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

The straightforward Cabernet fruit is immersed in new oak, so the dominant flavors of smoke, toast, chocolate and espresso all seem to emanate from the barrel aging. Otherwise it is a simple and perfectly pleasant, no-frills red.
