Score 88/100 · Drink 2017-2022, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2015
Bright ruby-red. Black cherry, mint, licorice and spicy oak on the nose. Creamy on entry, offering sweet cherry, blackberry and mocha flavors. Chewy and concentrated but finishes with somewhat rustic tannins. This old-style Washington Cabernet could use more finesse.

The 2012 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is also outstanding, yet will require short-term cellaring to come around. Incorporating 10% Petit Verdot, it has lots of chocolate, licorice, roasted herbs and dark fruits to go with a full-bodied, young and concentrated feel on the palate. Aged 18 months in French oak (33% new), give it 2-3 years and drink bottles through 2027.
