Note di degustazione
Set in a vertical tasting of the 2014–2018 vintages, the 2014 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is focused, fresh and ripe with layers of black fruits and oaks essence. Medium to full-bodied, the wine reveals layers of wilted flowers, preserved plums and a delightful dusty essence that shines from shedding its baby fat. The Cabernet concludes with an elegant finish that will drink well for the next 6 to 7 years.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in French oak, it offers loads of blackcurrants, cassis, and spicy oak aromatics, full body, sweet, soft tannin, and a luscious, silky texture. With terrific purity of fruit and an already approachable style, drink it over the coming decade or more. Abeja is located on the eastern side of the Walla Walla AVA and the wines are made by Daniel Wampfler. It’s a great estate and the wines always have a classic, balanced style that ages well.
Bright, dark red. Ripe aromas of currant, black cherry, licorice, fresh herbs and dark chocolate, lifted by a floral element. Plush and seamless but laid-back, conveying a restrained sweetness to its creamy flavors of currant, mocha and licorice. This wine didn't display quite the sweetness, horizontality or length of the 2015 Merlot on first pour but it expanded beautifully with 48 hours in the recorked bottle without losing its spring. A very suave Cabernet with excellent aging potential.
