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.

Yum!
Walls Walla has produced some great wines & this Cab didn’t disappoint! It paired well with our steak dinner! I’ll be ordering it again!

Enjoyable Cab
My wife and I drink a lot of Cabs from California, but it is getting harder & harder to find a decent one reasonably priced. We thought we would give this Washington Cab a go as an alternative and are happy we did. Not quite as fruit forward as some bolder cabs, but it is a quality wine at a good price point.

Lot 628 Walla Walla Cabernet
We enjoyed this on New Years eve while enjoying a marinated Prime New York steak dinner. It tasted complimented the steak perfectly. Seemed like an expensive bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet . Beautiful dark colors and fruit with exceptional tannins and a nice long finish. We recently visited this wine region and were very impressed with the quality.

Not enough fruit for my taste.
OK, but not my favorite.

Just ordered some more
I am not very familiar with Washington state cabs so I was pleasantly surprised by this one especially at this price point. I just ordered some more as it is one of my favorite CH cabs (from what I have tried so far).

Too Soft
Walla Walla Cabs are usually big and bold and one of my favorites. This was just eh, and on the weaker/softer side.

Lot 628
We recently visited this growing area and were very surprised with the quality. We tasted this cab with a prime cut of steak on New Year’s Eve and it was better than a much more expensive bottle we had first. I have more being delivered tomorrow!!!

Very nice affordable Cab
This is a lovely Cab that is good alone and epic with grilled steak (and lovely with Stilton...). I am quite sure none of the two cases will age much in my keeping as I am quite taken with this Cab!
