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.

Great Cab Value
I really like the Washing State Cabs. This is another great find by CHWines.
Order some more as I really enjoyed this full body smooth drinking Cab.

Keep for a year or two
Slightly disappointed with this WA Cab. Was fighting with it to give up something more on the nose, and while it had good tannin structure, it wasn't as rounded as I had hoped. Will certainly improve over the next few years. However, if you are going to drink now be sure to decant for an hour before drinking (...as CH advises and I ignored :) )

Really take your time drinking this one; won't disappoint and you will pick up nuances after a long decant

Another Great Value
Nice change of pace from the California cabs we've been getting. When it's on sale, it gets closer to the price points of lesser expensive CH wines and is worth the extra money.

Had with steak.
Balanced wine with some sort black fruit underpinning. Need more time in bottle perhaps.

Liked it a lot!
I'm looking to WA Cabs more and more and they don't disappoint. Let it open for an hour or so and enjoyed it with a good steak!
