Two Mountain 2010 Copeland Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Copeland Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Two Mountain / Yakima Valley

This pure Cabernet spent 22 months in a mix of French and American oak, though what percentage was new is not stated. It enters the palate with a pleasing mix of cassis, tar and a hint of mint, then seems to hit a wall and fade.
