2017 Januik Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley

WA90 Blended with 2% Merlot and aged for 22 months in all French oak barrels, half new, the 2017 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe, rich and round, opening with aromas of fresh blackberry, dusty dark plum, cherry skin, elements of dried sage and nuances of vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is open and accessible, with a brilliant frame, balanced structure, lifting acidity and buttressing tannins. A rare find to see this quality at this price. It’s delicious, so give it a try.
Estate Notes: This supple, bold Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with red and black fruit flavors as well as plum, mocha and cedar notes in the nose. Its texture is quite refined and shows great structure across the palate, imparting a long, ample finish that was developed in part from the use of new French Oak barrels.
