The 2018 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens to aromas of dark cherry skin and black plum with elements of graphite and white rock as a spicy floral element sways from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced with firm tannins and succulent acidity that will no doubt drink better in time but is also food-friendly in youth. The wine concludes with a long finish that has me craving grilled chops.
