2022 Passing Time Red Wine Columbia Valley

(93 Points)  --  (Wine Enthusiast)

Ripe blackberries open the aromatic show, with violets and seared steak serving as supporting actors. The densely textured wine features flavors of black cherries, anise and balsa wood that ache to be matched with something meaty from the grill. This Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend is a tannic beast that will require patience or decanting. — Michael Alberty   Issue Date 9-1-2025
