Pamplin 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Pamplin /

Sourced principally from Klipsun, with smaller amounts from Champoux and Seven Hills, this tight, dark, richly-flavored wine has impeccable credentials. Black fruits, espresso and citrus—notably blood orange—mingle seamlessly, though it takes some hours to open up. The Red Mountain fruit contributes characteristic notes of iron ore and underlying minerality.
