2015 Va Piano Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Du Brul Vineyard Black Label

Even inkier colored, with 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon DuBrul Vineyard comes from a great site on the northern edge of the Yakima Valley. It offers a masculine, dark, meaty (almost bloody) bouquet of smoked currants and black cherries, tobacco leaf, truffle, and charcoal This gives way to a concentrated, powerful, yet balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that has integrated acidity, fine tannin, and a great finish. It's certainly an outstanding wine and is going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 10-15 years. This is another terrific lineup from winemaker Justin Wylie, who sources grapes from numerous Washington State AVAs.
