This week's flash sale is a Cabernet from way down South
The wine is led with dark chocolate, black cherry, melted licorice, alder, forest floor, cassis, and cigar box. On the palatte it’s chewy and dark, but not heavy and soupy. It has a lot of energy to it; a really vibrant, raw, honest Cabernet.
All the fruit is largely grown on the Goose Mountain portion of the Goose Ridge Ranch in the Columbia Valley, AVA. The soils for this beauty of a vineyard are composed of alluvial sands deposited by the Missoula Floods that sit over volcanic soils deeper beneath. The ranch is contiguous with the Red Mountain AVA which many consider to be the premiere Washington Cabernet Sauvignon spot though of course we would argue that the cooler, hillside location of our fruit is superior. You can be the judge.
Wine Enthusiast Review (Best Buy):
The quality of this wine is hard to fathom at this price point. It has grippy tannins, vibrant acidity, a leathery texture and all the fruit you can handle. Aromas of baked apples, black cherry and loamy soil lead to blackberry, blueberry, basil and orange zest flavors. Try it with steak and a Jim Jarmusch flick. -M.A.
