カタクリズム カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン 2020、コロンビア・バレー、ワシントン州

Pouring a glass brings up those dark berry and plum notes just as described, with the bramble adding a nice wild touch. The tobacco and vanilla hit on the finish are exactly what I look for in a big Cab—it’s rich but not overpowering. A solid bottle for a chilly evening.

The tobacco and vanilla on the nose really come through after about twenty minutes in the glass, and the deep plum keeps it from feeling too heavy. A solid pour for a chilly evening, and the finish lingers just long enough to make you want another sip.

Opened it with a steak night in mind, and the tobacco and vanilla notes really came through alongside that deep plum richness. The finish lingers nicely, and at this price for a Columbia Valley cab, it's a solid dinner table choice.
