Along the same lines, yet with a tad more elegance and finesse, but not as much richness, the 2010 Cabernet Stone Tree Vineyard Reserve comes from block 14 of the Stone Tree Vineyard, which lies in the warmer Wahluke Slope AVA. Aged similarly to the Wautoma Springs Vineyard Reserve, with 18 months in 50% new French oak, it has an outstanding raspberry and black raspberry styled core of fruit to go with complementing notions of toast, flowers and crushed stone-like minerality. Seamless, supple and polished on the palate, with full-bodied richness and no hard edges, it is serious Cabernet that will shine for 10-12 years. Drink now-2022. www.columbia-crest.com
