100% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Deep ruby in color. Expressive aromas of blackberry, plum, black cherry, and black currant framed by vanilla, toasty oak spice, earthy leather, and a subtle graphite-mineral note. The palate delivers rich primary flavors of black cherry, cassis, plum, and boysenberry, supported by secondary notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, vanilla bean, butterscotch, and gentle tobacco, with savory dried herbs and a touch of minty or cedar-like complexity adding early tertiary nuance. This dry Cabernet shows medium-plus acidity, medium to moderately firm tannins with a fine-grained but lightly grippy texture, and a medium-plus body with good concentration and intensity reflective of Washington’s structure-driven style. The finish is medium-plus, lingering with dark fruit, chocolate, oak spice, and a savory herbal echo that ties the wine together with polish and balance.

Food Pairing: Braised short rib tacos with cocoa-chile rub, espresso-glazed pork belly, rosemary lamb meatballs with blackberry compote, blue cheese and caramelized onion smash burgers, charred portobello steaks with balsamic-herb glaze, black pepper–crusted duck breast, mushroom and truffle risotto, grilled eggplant with smoked paprika yogurt, dark chocolate–cured salami, aged cheddar with espresso-infused honey.
