Lachini 2006 La Bestia Klipsun Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

Country: US / La Bestia Klipsun Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Lachini / Red Mountain

Late-picked, 100% Cabernet fruit from an iconic Red Mountain vineyard; hence the name, which translates as “the beast”. It’s jammy and ripe, but the tannins have been tamed, and the fruit is front and center, along with brown spices and toasty barrel notes. This is a thoroughly delicious wine that seems to be drinking in its prime, though it shows no sign of tiring.
