Nose is oak, blackberry, licorice snaps,.....tongue has oak stave, Black cherry, blackberry, tannins light, some acidity... Not a lush fruit bomb...more on the leaner side.... Very good... Might not win a crowd over vs a fruitier cab but it is elegant and delicious....

(Dunham Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon XVI Columbia Valley) Moderately aromatic with abundant vanilla, barrel notes, herbs, and dried cherry. The palate is tart, rich and fruit filled with a lot of intensity and texture, chewy tannins, and abundant oak flavors. The wood somewhat dominates the show but there is still much to enjoy here. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Lewis, Wallula, Phinny Hill, and Frenchtown vineyards. Aged in French (70%) and American oak. 13.4% alcohol.

Cork fell apart. Wine smelled like musty basement. I knew there was something about this winery when I visited and found nothing I really liked.
