2020 El Viñador Cabernet Sauvignon

This Red Mountain Cabernet has distinct full-bodied supple tannins that caress the palate. A burst of fresh field berries and stone fruits greets you on the nose, along with tons of juicy/chewy dried cherry and currant flavors. The amazing finish suggests ultra-dark cherry, black licorice, vanilla bean, and toasted oak. This wine is bold and robust – exactly what you’d expect from a Washington Cab – and, at the same time, flat-out delicious. This elegant cabernet was aged in 100% French oak barrels for 26 months giving it layers of complexity and polished tannins.
