Amavi Cellars Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Washington State
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of black fruits with light cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, cola, herbs and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, black plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, coffee, herbs, dark chocolates, black tea, peppercorn and cola.
Long finish with no tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious 10-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Complex and nicely balanced.
Good right out of the bottle and didn’t evolve much with air, even after after 2 hours.
Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
I had this vintage 7 years ago, and it is so much better now. Probably a little past its peak, but delicious nonetheless. A little flat at this point, but very tasty. I love these Cabernet based Bordeaux blends.
Easy drinking and a great sipping wine.
A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in (28% new) French Oak barrels.
