Fidelitas Wines Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Washington State
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper, eucalyptus and black tea.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black plums, cherries, black currants, peppercorn, cola, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State is drinking beautifully now.
Elegant and nicely balanced, with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Rich and extracted, fruit forward and smooth.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had this vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking much better now.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Bold, delicious and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I paired it with a charcuterie board and it paired beautifully with the Italian prosciutto.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (93% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$55 (at release).
Sapienesque
I have a few bottles of their 4040 red bourdoux blend, quite delicious.
