Cayuse 2009 The Widowmaker Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (OR))

Country: US / The Widowmaker
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Oregon
Winery: Cayuse / Walla Walla Valley (OR)

Using grapes sourced entirely from the En Chamberlin Vineyard, this pure Cabernet is deep, dark, focused and tight, with firm but velvety tannins and a perfect mix of cassis, coffee and earth. Even more than previous years, this vintage displays astonishing depth and power. Flavors of Serrano ham and other cured meats, plus a delicate saltiness and minerality keep the flavors developing onto the long, fascinating finish.
