Native Sun 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Native Sun / Red Mountain

Made from Kiona Vineyards fruit, this Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has the dark fruit and the dense tannins one might expect. But that meaty power is leavened by natural acidity. A highlight of orange peel accents the deep flavors of cassis and smoke. It turns a little chalky at the tail end.
