Note di degustazione
The newest wine from this team, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 1311 comes from The Benches Vineyard and spent 21 months in 80% new French oak. Its deep purple color is followed by lots of smoked black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and cedar notes. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and brilliantly concreated, it has the purity and elegance of the vintage yet still packs rocking levels of fruit and richness. I think it's the standout in the lineup as well as one of the wines of the vintage. These wines by Chris Peterson continue to offer rich yet classic, balanced styles.

The 2017 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon has splashes of 7% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc added in to round out the blend. The nose is lush with a clean expression that will age beautifully for the next decade. The wine has a blackberry and red cherry core, with dusty plum and soft savory notes that add to the complexity. The mouthfeel is still youthful and currently showing well, with a tight mineral expression and approachable tannins, ending with a long, spicy finish. The wine will be ready a touch sooner than the 2016s and will bring pleasure. Only 575 cases produced.
