Tasting Line Up:

2016 CS Substance Jack’s Vineyard
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from the Walla Walla Valley and vines planted in 1996, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Vineyard Collection has a crazy, exotic bouquet of black and blue fruits, blood orange, and leafy herbs. This gives way to a full-bodied Cabernet that has loads of fruit and richness, yet stays balanced and vibrant on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity and a great finish. It literally makes you salivate.
2017 Va Piano Cabernet Rosebud Vineyard
95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Offers a rocking sense of opulence and sexiness. Terrific purity of fruit as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, black raspberries, spring flowers, toasted spice, and hints of loamy soils. Balanced and has a great mid-palate.
2018 Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval
95 Points - Vinous
A rich and darkly alluring mix of plum sauce, grilled sage and hints of sweet smoke makes the 2018 Red Wine Ciel du Cheval a total pleasure on the nose. This is seamlessly silky, with potent red fruits complimented by a pleasant inner sweetness that's quickly firmed up by saturating minerality and fine tannins collecting toward the close. The 2018 finishes youthfully inward and structured, leaving nuances of blueberry preserve and a dusting of cocoa to linger. Wow
2019 Fidelitas Cabernet Red Mountain
95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a softer, more charming, forward wine offering beautiful crème de cassis and black raspberry-like fruits, medium to full body, beautifully integrated, classy oak, sweet tannins, and a great finish.
2020 Long Shadows Feather Cabernet Sauvignon
98 Points - Wine Advocate (WOW)
Instantly impressive, opens to silky, fresh and fleshy dark red and black fruit tones with picturesque rich and ripe notions that sashay out of the glass with elegance, power and precision. Medium to full-bodied, the Cabernet shows incredible depth and breadth with succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins. . World-class and devastatingly beautiful, the wine continues to somersault across the ever-evolving finish, and it will undoubtedly be well received upon its release in the fall later this year. Mark your calendar now, and run, don’t walk to add this to your cellar.
2022 Hyatt Vineyards Saperavi
No rating but Lea Loves it!
Saperavi is a middle-eastern varietal that dates back eight thousand years. The Persian kings were drinking this varietal. Black currants, tar and huckleberry fruit notes mark the nose with graphite accents. The palate is soft and elegant with a smooth texture. Juicy black and blue fruits mingle well with a smooth texture.

Mouthwatering!
