Gamache 2010 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Gamache / Columbia Valley (WA)

Aged in 46% new American, 40% new French oak, this is predictably tannic and oaky, though smooth and showing generous fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry. It’s a steak wine all the way, with some chalkiness to the tannins, though nothing that a juicy cut of beef cannot power through.
