Robert Ramsay 2011 Phinny Hill Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Phinny Hill
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Robert Ramsay / Horse Heaven Hills

This 100% varietal wine seems to still be in its shell, with light notes of coffee, plum and licorice along with other barrel spices. The fruit flavors are supple with some heft to the tannins and a tart lick of acidity that spruces things up. A lot of good things are going on here but they don’t quite all come together.
