Three Rivers 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

This is a spicy blend of Cabernet fruit from five different vineyards scattered across the state; it’s varietal and focused, with precise flavors of plum and red currant. If there is new oak it’s hidden, and the acids jut out with a raw angularity, but it’s a palate-refreshing style that will nicely accompany simple grilled meats.
