The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon has 16% Merlot and smaller amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec in its blend. It, too, was aged for 20 months in predominantly French oak. Spicy black fruits, earthy minerals, herbs and spices form the bouquet of this ripe, nicely proportioned Cabernet which is well priced for what it delivers. It will provide enjoyable drinking through 2020 if not longer. Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane continue to turn out excellent wines at very fair prices from their Walla Walla-based winery.
