Arbor Crest 2012 Five Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Arbor Crest / Five Vineyards

There’s been no price increase for this outstanding value, but the quality keeps going up and up. It’s packed with juicy red berry and cassis fruit—supple, tangy, deep and lingering. The finish carries a suggestion of chalk, more in the sense of minerality than any artificial dryness.
