2016 Very Fine Table Wine

A classic GSM from Red Mountain is a treat and right away you notice a lot of dark blackberry, cherry, and black pepper. Spice, fruit, vanilla, cocoa, and a touch of lemon zest, jasmine and cumin create such a complex aroma that it’s hard to stop smelling it.

The palate has some up-front acidity which is balance by a soft and full mid-palate with dark fruit flavors. The length is short and spicy, with a bit of elegance.A classic Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon, true to varietal character, with appealing, earthy aromas and flavors, including a streak of graphite, dark cherry, blackberry and a hint of dried herbs. Well-structured with plenty of backbone, like an Old-World Cab but with the focused concentration of a New World wine.

Enjoy with lamb and beef with a side of asparagus.
