The king of red varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, reigns supreme in Washington State, where it consistently delivers wines with exceptional varietal character and value. Located at the same latitude as Bordeaux, the historic home of Cabernet, Washington’s primary vineyard areas produce deep purple wines rich in dark fruit and herbal notes. These Cabernets are captivating in their youth, with vibrant aromas of raspberry, red cherry, currant, and baking spice. Medium-bodied with a round palate and moderate tannins, the wine reveals flavors of red fruit and smoky cedar, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. This structure ensures it ages beautifully in the bottle.
