Splurge
Long Shadows Feather Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Washington, USA
Columbia Valley Beauty
Opaque in color with enticing aromas and flavors. Dark earth and oak spice are woven throughout a generous core of black fruit. On the palate, blackberry jam and graphite mingle beautifully with an underlining richness that lifts the wine’s overall impression and provides a lush and textured finish.

Charles Smith – Substance Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Washington, USA
Strong value for Columbia Valley
This Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington has notes of blackcurrants, black olives, graphite and rosemary. Its firm, delicious and so balanced, with firm tannins and yet such a juicy fruit profile.
