Owner/winemaker Chris Gorman produces 600-700 cases of full-throttle wines from some of Washington’s top vineyards. The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon “The Bully” is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 20 months in French oak, 80% new. A saturated purple, the wine offers a superb nose of cedar, lavender, violets, spice box, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Plush and full-bodied (15.3% alcohol), the wine is packed with flavor, is well balanced, and has enough structure to evolve for 3-4 years. Drink this powerful Cabernet through 2024. Tel.
