2015 Seattle Slew Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley
Now SOLD OUT. New world ensemble of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Four forces of nature combine here Discovery, Dubrul, Red Willow and StoneTree vineyards. Love the pedigree on this Washington bred.

Washington Wine Blog says ... this Cabernet Sauvignon starts with oaky overtones with black fruits, black tea and milk chocolate coming through on the nose. The texture is soft and round, as the wine shows a nice mouthfeel and smooth texture. Black tea, blackberry cobbler and mocha flavors fill the glass. While not highly complex, this is pretty delicious.
