Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2016
Country of Origin: United States
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Retail Price: $47.99

Tasting Notes: Pioneering winemaker Mike Januik made the move north form California in the early 80’s, and his depth of experience certainly shows. His cab/merlot blend is sourced from the famed Stillwater Creek vineyard and other prime Columbia Valley sources, including Red Mountain. Aged for 20 months in French and American oak, with rich concentrated black fruit, plus hints of vanilla and spice. Wonderful alternative to California for those wine drinkers ready to branch out from their current favorites.
