Woodward Canyon 2006 Old Vines Dedication Series #26 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Woodward Canyon / Old Vines Dedication Series #26

This is a mix of 56% Sagemoor and 41% Champoux Cabernet, with a 3% splash of estate Petit Verdot. It’s detailed in the manner of a Pauillac, thick cassis fruit with deep veins of iron, cedar, licorice and a just a hint of silage. The fruit is dark and dense, but with breathing you’ll find it begins to open into a splendid blend of black cherry, cassis and mountain berry flavor. Woodward Canyon’s red wines age beautifully, but if drunk young give them a lot of breathing time.
