J. Bookwalter 2014 1RDRS4 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / 1RDRS4
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: J. Bookwalter / Columbia Valley (WA)

This wine comes from older vines at Conner Lee, Dionysus and Elephant Mountain vineyards. Light aromas of herb, dark plum, menthol and licorice lead to quite sweet full-bodied fruit flavors and a warm finish. It delivers a sense of hedonism and unabashed appeal, though the variety doesn’t seem entirely clear.
