Wine Details
Opens with aromas of pepper, acacia flower, and graphite. Bone dry on the palate, with good tannins and delicately inflected blackberry and plums. A lively, chiseled wine with nice fresh acidity and great length – the clean, bright flavors with chocolatey black fruit underpinning will be sure to keep you coming back for more. It’s just beginning to open up, so I recommend an hour decant before drinking.

Washington state continues to surge upward as a premier winegrowing region. However, the cost of doing business up there isn’t quite that of the North Coast, so there are still terrific opportunities to be found on Cabernet. Enter Lot 628 - sourced from a single vineyard planted to silt-loam soils of one of the oldest wineries in the Walla Walla Valley (with perhaps more Cabernet growing experience than anyone else in the entire state), the quality of winemaking here is first class, and I was able to get it for an incredible price.

Very good Cab
This is just how I like my cabs. Just enough oak to make it a well balanced lighter cabernet.

Another awesome Cab~
Smooth, oaky, with a hint of tartness. This was a good one after a little time to breathe.

Walla Walla wing banging great cab
So i forgot I even had this cab and dang was I happy when I opened it and had it paired with a bacon and smoked mozzarella and avocado cheese burger! The wine was bold, chewy and the lush Washington fruit was a perfect match. It had the very special tobacco richness but with good acidity that is hard to find in a cab. I am a little sad to know it is sold out but understand totally! Super value Cab!

My favorite so far!
I’ve been saving this bottle for a special event and I’m so glad I did. It was one of the best cabs I’ve had in a long time at this price point. It was smooth and delicious. Sad it’s sold out!

Let it open
Really enjoyed this after it was open and swirled in the glass for awhile. To my nose I detected cherry and graham cracker. The balance of acid and tannins was good. Dry. Long finish.

A good first purchase with CH
I picked up a case of this and agree with most here. It does have that Washington style without all of the fruit forward taste I have grown tired of in Napa wines. Well balanced with medium tannins and dry finish. Ready to drink with a few hours of air. A good value for price. I went to purchase a second case after I had first bottle but it was already sold out.
