Country: US / Old Vines
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Mark Ryan / Columbia Valley (WA)
This is 100% varietal with the fruit coming from Ciel du Cheval, Red Willow and Phinny Hill vineyards. Expressive but still wound-up aromas of exotic spice, French oak, chocolate and dark fruit are followed by pitch-black fruit flavors and tightly wound tannins. It’s not yet ready to fully reveal its charms but has the stuffing to go the distance.
