Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $15.99 per bottle

Description: For this Cabernet Sauvignon, we have selected fruit from a number of vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, each site has a distinct microclimate. Alderdale and Wahluke Slope are warmer and produce rich dense fruit with higher tannins for structure, while the cooler Yakima Valley Cabernet contributes bright berry fruit flavors and supple tannins. Merlot was added (18%) to the blend for a bit of softness and Lemberger (5%) for a touch of cassis and pepper. Our Hogue Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of cedar wood and caramel with subtle notes of violets and lavender. Ripe black cherries are on the palate, with hints of herbs de Provence, cocoa, tobacco, and oak framed by moderate tannins.
