Country: US / Old Vine Cabernet
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Upland Estates / Snipes Mountain
By “Old Vine Cabernet” the winery refers to vines that were planted in 1973. But somehow the fruit doesn’t express old-vine character. Instead, it’s a mix of sweet-tasting strawberry and bitter stem flavors that lack focus, with a peppery highlight.
