Washington Wine Report

By Sean Sullivan
(Abeja House Red Columbia Valley) An aromatic wine with baker’s chocolate, brambly berries, and streaky herbal notes. Very evenly balanced on the palate. An outrageous value. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.2% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 4.9% Petit Verdot. 14.5% alcohol. 1,040 cases produced.

(Abeja House Red Columbia Valley) Lots of vanilla, cinnamon, oak spices, and red and blue fruit on the nose. Drinking extremely well on the first half of the palate and then flattens out. Will improve with additional bottle age. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.2% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 4.9% Petit Verdot. 14.5% alcohol. 1,040 cases produced. To be released Spring 2010.

Notes from day 2. Cassis, dried flowers, leather and warm spice on the nose. Soft and silky, with a medium plus weight. Good fruit, blackberry, plum. Super fine, soft tannins with balanced acidity. Quite nice.

Excellent QPR. Drinking beautifully right now. Balanced with good fruit and tannin structure with very pleasant finish.

This bottle isn't showing as well as others I've had. It's good, but just missing some of the liveliness. Nice nose, very dark and floral. Still one dimensional on the body with blue/black fruits and med finish.

This keeps getting better with time (and air). Gorgeous fruit on the nose--violets, vanilla and some mocha. Rich, concentrated body with blue/black fruits. Finishes with superfine tannins and med+ length. Lacking a little depth on the palate. Well balanced, and overall enjoyable to drink right now.

Definitely needs to decant a bit: I initially thought it was a bit too tight but an hour opening up fixed that. Dark grassy odors, deep plum flavor. Easily one or the best $19 wines in my cellar.
