Splurge
DeLille Cellars – 4 Flags
Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Washington, USA
Red Mountain Beauty
4 Flags single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, offers an expressive nose of blackberries, cedar, and a hint of violet. The palate is a rich tapestry of cassis, dark chocolate, and a touch of clove. Refined tannins and a long, luxurious finish underscore its pedigree and potential for graceful aging.

Charles Smith – Substance
Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Washington, USA
Strong value for Columbia Valley
Depth and layer upon layer, black cassis, dark cherry, tobacco leaf, and morels. Then, pushes on to a full palate, that is savory, mineral-driven and earthbound. Smooth, long, compelling… in a word: harmonious.
