This elegant Cabernet from eastern Washington is a keeper, as in a Cab that will improve as it evolves over a number of years if cellared properly. Beautifully structured, rich and powerful, it is packed with red and black fruit aromas, hints of cedar and lead pencil, firm tannins, and a lovely spice note. Good now, but even better to drink in five to seven years.
