It’s always refreshing to run across a restrained, elegant and flavorful Washington Cabernet Sauvignon in the midst of a bombastic flight of California examples. Food friendly, and ready to drink with bright, ripe Cabernet character that’s reined in by judicious use of oak and balanced acidity. Serve with just about any red meat preparation to elevate both sip and bite. Contains 6% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot.
