Ryan Patrick 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Ryan Patrick / Columbia Valley (WA)

Ryan Patrick’s Reserve Cab is a round, subtle and forward wine that does not over-reach. The tangy fruit shows a mix of cassis and black raspberry fruit, then opens out into a darker mid-palate with licorice and coffee running solidly through to the finish. It’s broad and open, and falls off in the finish, suggesting that this is a wine to enjoy in its youth.
