(EFESTE Big Papa Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Incredibly dark in color. Stains the glass. A cabernet prototype of cherry, licorice, and light herbal notes on an aromatically intoxicating wine. A beautifully expressive palate with a velvety feel and a lingering finish. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 19 months in French oak (87% new). 14.46% alcohol. 700 cases produced.

An outstanding WA Cab that sings all the way to an extended finish. A big wine that needs a big meal but it is at it's peak drinking window.

Dark in color but slight haze. Lots of tannins. Still tight 3hrs later. Big, earthy, dark plum

Father-in-law brought this for dinner. Loaded with eucalyptus and wet wood. Darker plum, blue fruit to pair with nose. Super young pup.
