(21 Grams Red Wine Columbia Valley) From the first sniff, it is clear that this is a serious wine with floral notes, raspberries, cocoa powder, tobacco, herbal notes, and light green olive notes. The palate is full of cherry flavors with a firm backbone of tannins. Out of the gate the tannins can be a bit aggressive here but once they calm down this wine sings. Give a few years in the cellar or extended (extended) time in a decanter. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cold Creek and Pepper Bridge vineyards. Aged in French oak (40% new).
