Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Jay Miller - The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is made up of 88% Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Quilceda Creek is a partner in the vineyard), 10% Red Mountain Cabernet, and 2% Merlot from the Palengat Vineyard. As good as the Palengat cuvee is, the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon takes it to another level. A slightly brooding bouquet displays aromas of sandalwood, exotic spices, incense, violets, and wild berry notes. On the palate it has extra layers of fruit, exceptional complexity, impeccable balance, and a 60-second finish.Additional Information

Washington30 years ago, less than a dozen wineries were in the game of making Washington State wines. Today, more than 450 wineries call Washington home. The reason? Vintners have finally discovered the state’s potential for growing fine wine grapes that match (and possibly exceed) the quality of California grapes. The relatively dry climate, extra sunlight hours during the growing season, and long autumn for slow, optimal ripening all mean great things for Washington State wines. See fine examples from wineries like Chateau St. Michelle, Chester Kidder and Canoe Ridge. View all our items from Washington
