(Va Piano Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) An aromatic wine with abundant chocolate, licorice, red and black fruit and a whiff of pepper on a complex aroma profile. A big, massive wine full of fruit with a big tannic lick. An impressive effort. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. Seven Hills, Portteus Vineyard, Klipsun, Va Piano Estate Vineyard, and Pepper Bridge vineyards. Aged in French oak (50% new) for 23 months. 14.4% alcohol. 934 cases produced.

Some Brett but the cork fell apart and was a bit rough. Lots of cork aromas

Lush cab. Red fruits, soft tannins, long finish.

Still great. Chocolate, blackberries, coffee. Has several years left. Rich and a long finish.

An ok wine, nothing to write home about. The Cab Franc is much better.
