Country: US / Reserve Tapteil Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Barrister / Red Mountain
Sourced entirely from old vine Tapteil fruit, this spent 32 months in French and American oak. It’s loaded—as per usual with this winery—with generous, dark and smoky flavors of espresso, smoke and charcoal. But the fruit has the power and depth to handle it well, and as the wine breathes it smoothes out into a thoroughly luscious quaff.
