A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend with 33% Merlot, the 2018 Cascadia is almost opaque in the glass. The nose offers a dark-fruited and ripe core of sweet oak, roasted coconut and black raspberry notions before hints of black plum and blackberry skin waft with notes of sage. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is ripe with a firm tannic edge that will allow this wine to age gracefully and remain food-friendly for years to come. The wine glides to a long-lingering and juicy finish with persistent oak flavors of vanilla and brown baking spices. Give it a try.
