Cadaretta, Columbia Valley (Washington) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Aug 12, 2014

By Robert Whitley

Cadretta offers another good example of the success of the Bordeaux grape varieties in Washington’s Columbia Valley. This Cab could also pass for a Bordeaux blend, with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec contributing to the flavor profile of dark fruits and the firm structure. On the note it is still a bit closed, but shows enough cassis and cedar to indicate it is behaving like a young Bordeaux. It will only get better over the next four to seven years.
