Boutique Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet from a "Winery of the Year"!
This A Squared Cabernet is sourced entirely from the Destiny Ridge Vineyard. It's a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 9% Malbec aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak barrels. The entire production of this wine was less than 650 cases which is probably why it's still under the radar while it clearly deserves to be in spotlight.
It's a bold expression of Columbia Valley Cab with layers of flavor. Black cherries, currants, plums, and black olives with vanilla and caramel notes from the oak expand on palate while ripe, round tannins create a lively mouthfeel and good balanced acidity keep the flavors fresh and vibrant. This clearly has the stuffings to mature in your cellar for another 4-6 years as well but it drinks so beautifully now you may not be able to wait. Best of all it's On Sale, so don't miss this extremely limited single vineyard Cab from one of Washington state's elite AVA's.
