2012 North by Northwest Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley

The 2012 vintage is comprised of fruit from several different vineyards, predominately The Benches, Alder Ridge, Seven Hills, and Les Collines. The addition of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot contributed to the blend’s full body and firm tannins. This wine has a good amount of black pepper spice and dried tobacco to the dark plum and currant berry fruit on the nose. A good bit of fresh plowed dark earth on the tongue with fine tannins and a host of that dark pepper and dried tobacco notes through the finish, bitter coco. finish 45+ Excellent
