Tamarack Cellars 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Tamarack Cellars /

This is perfumed with lovely violets and tight layers of mixed berries, currants and hints of truffle. It’s young and muscular, with a pleasing chewy texture to the tannins. There is the sense that time will unfold the flavors and add nuances of herb and earth, capturing the varietal notes that can be obliterated by over-ripe fruit and too much new oak.
