Januik 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Januik / Columbia Valley (WA)

Principally Cabernet Sauvignon, this blends in small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Broad fruit flavors range from strawberry into red plum, with some stemmy earth leading into stiff tannins. The astringent, earthy character is well-managed and balanced against the pretty fruit.
