Shifted more into the red fruit category, the 2017 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of black raspberry, dark cherry skin, red plum and redcurrant with subtle notions of dried sage and thyme, with a silky red floral lift. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is delightful and nimble across the palate, showing energetic acidity with baked earth elements and dusty plum in the mouth. Concluding with a long, winding finish, flavors of bitter dark chocolate and juicy currant remain in the mouth with black tea tannins.
