Red Mountain is a small AVA in the Yakima Valley. Situated at the juncture of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers, the appellation enjoys abundant sunshine, wide diurnal temperature variations, and dry, mineral-rich soils that make the vines' roots dig deep for nutrients. These conditions bring forth wines with ripe fruit characters, balancing acidity, and nuanced, terroir-driven, layered flavors. Aged for 20 months in 100% French oak (40% new, 60% neutral), today's offer, a blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot, and 2% malbec, draws you in with soaring aromas of cherry pie, grenadine and plum, as well as delightful notions of sagebrush, fennel, sarsaparilla and hints of flinty minerality and barrel spice. On the broad, supple palate, silky tannins underscore concentrated flavors of dark fruit and spice, with sophisticated notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf, black tea, nutmeg, and cardamom emerging on the long, rich finish. (winemaker notes) Check out the press! 92 points, James Suckling: "This is a focused cabernet that has ripe plums, blackberries, tea leaves, and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium-to-full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a nicely linear and balanced finish. Drink or hold." 91 points, Jeb Dunnuck: "Bright cassis, plums, spicy oak, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain, a nicely textured, medium-to-full-bodied blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot, and 2% malbec." 90 points, Wine Enthusiast: "Imagine black cherries and a cedar box that once housed Punch Gran Puro cigars. That's how this wine makes its aromatic introduction. Then the medium-bodied cabernet sauvignon delivers black-fruit flavor to go with dark chocolate and balsa notes." Order the 2021 Canvasback "Red Mountain" Cabernet Sauvignon between now and Monday, June 23, at 5 PM. Orders will be ready for pickup on Thursday, June 26th, after Noon. |
