This is the most compelling Cabernet bottling that I've ever sampled from this winery in ten years. This is their old vine bottling which comes from the Dionysus Vineyard, located above the Columbia River, which has old Cab vines in Block 16A. This begins with aromas of sandalwood, smoke, red cherry, red raspberry, and blackberry. Flavors of red cherry, blackberry pie and mocha persist. Dense and chewy wine to savor with a juicy ribeye.
