Den Hoed 2012 Andreas Wallula Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Andreas Wallula Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Den Hoed / Horse Heaven Hills

The aromas start out quite brooding, opening to reveal notes of green pepper, vanilla, wood spice, powdered cayenne and dark cherry. The flavors are lithe and polished, with cherry, vanilla and coffee interweaving throughout to an extended finish. It comes off as oak heavy but still impresses.
