Winemaker Andrew Wilson learned from some of Washington State’s best, including Marie-Eve Gilla of Forgeron Cellars and her husband, Gilles Nicault at Long Shadows. With 2,500 acres of vines to work with, he has the ability to select grapes to produce wines at different quality and price levels. It is not easy to find a Cabernet at this quality for $15. It is medium-bodied and full flavored with, black cherry, blackberry flavors and hints of vanilla and dried woody herbs. This Columbia Valley Cabernet is a lot of wine for the money. Serve it with barbecued ribs or a grilled steak.
