Item#: 77685

WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2023
The Pendulum swings towards a full body, big fruit and the muscular tannins to back it all up. Aromas of blackcurrant, bacon fat, bay leaf and violets lead to rich, thick flavors of blueberries, black tea and beignets drizzled with powdered sugar. BBQ ribs will thank you for this wine. (Michael Alberty)

JD100100 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/10/2024
The flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (90% from Champoux Vineyard and 10% from Mach One Vineyard) raised all in new barrels. It’s slightly deeper hued than the CVR and has a stunning nose of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, toasted spices, and graphite with a beautiful varietal, herbal undertone that comes through with time in the glass. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and velvety textured, this thrilling Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and evolve for two decades. This is unquestionably up with the greatest vintages of this cuvée ever made. (Jeb Dunnuck)
RP98+98+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Mar 2024
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon erupts with a classic Quilceda Creek expression. A big, bold and boisterous wine, it presents a fresh, juicy attack with gobs of succulent, ripe, fresh fruit tones complemented by plenty of oak essences. The palate is full-bodied, fresh, layered and complex, showcasing balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins. The elongated finish suggests that while it can be enjoyed now, patience will be generously rewarded with additional years in the cellar. However, keeping your hands off this gorgeous wine will take a lot of self-discipline. The wine aged for 20 months in 100% French oak. 65,520 bottles produced. (Anthony Mueller)

With 90% of the grapes from Champoux Vineyard and 10% from Mach One Vineyard, this blend could have been labeled Horse Heaven Hills and is certainly no less a standout than the vineyard-designate bottlings. Mint, black fruit, cinnamon, sandalwood, blueberry and floral notes form a seamless whole, wrapped in beautifully integrated, fine tannins. Drink now but best from 2028. (James Suckling)
VN9696 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2024
Aromatically stunning. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a bombshell, opening with a mentholated freshness that gives way to sweet sage, sandalwood, lavender, white smoke and cinnamon-dusted currant. It’s elegant yet sincere, with silken textures and vibrant acidity that motivates its depths of dark red and black fruits, all complicated by hints of rosemary and spice. This finishes long and staining, with beautifully round tannins that present a structured yet not severe sensation. The 2021 tapers off long and unexpectedly fresh. This is a blend of 90% Champoux and 10% Mach One. (Eric Guido)

I like the savory nature of this dark-fruited cabernet. Black olives, dark plums, cocoa and graphite here, with a full-bodied yet fresh and classy palate. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)
WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2024
Art inspires in places where words often fail. This Cabernet Sauvignon paints a picture of blackberries and seared steaks that waltz with pipe tobacco, iodine and a hint of mint. The almost creamy texture is counterpointed by elevated acidity that injects a bit of liveliness. Palette meets palate here. (Michael Alberty)
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2024
Masses of steeped plums and crushed black raspberries and a dusting of clove and exotic spice make the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series a total pleasure on the nose. This sweeps across the palate with ease, guided by zesty acidity and ripe wild berry fruits that slowly saturate. It tapers off with a spicy tinge, leaving an air of lavender and hints of salted licorice. Fine-grained tannins frame the experience nicely. (Eric Guido)

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah is a Washington staple that always put a smile on my face. It over delivers on quality once again, starting off with aromas of crushed raspberries, lemon drops and a wee bit of pepper. Flavors like blackberry tea and citrus complement the wine’s tangy acidity and slippery texture. (Michael Alberty)

Attractive nose of hazelnuts, chocolate, cherries and licorice. Creamy and full-bodied, with gently chewy tannins and good density. Drink now. Screw cap. (James Suckling)

A spicy, herbaceous aroma leads to very ripe flavors like dried cherries and blackberries in this mouth-filling, broadly tannic wine. Blended from 57% malbec, 29% cabernet franc and 14% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now. (James Suckling)

I was impressed by this balanced blend of 40% each of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20% Merlot. It has a fresh and floral nose, with plenty of hyacinth, freesia, boysenberry and nutmeg aromas. A lithe and elegant texture escorts boysenberry jam, orange and ginger flavors across the pleasure finish line. (Michael Alberty)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cs is going to be another terrific value from this team. Cassis, blackberries, sage, tobacco, and leafy herb notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied, balanced, and elegant on the palate. It’s going to shine right out of the gate. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Straightforward and appealing for its nicely structured flavors of blackberry, dark mocha and toasty spices. Ends with perky tannins. Drink now through 2030. 202,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)

This wine displays a pleasing mix of elevated acidity, silky tannins and restrained alcohol. Aromatically, it is a heady mix of blackberries, straw and oily, dark-roasted coffee beans. It feels crisp and lively in the mouth, with flavors like blackberries, sweet, buttery edamame and a ristretto shot of espresso. (Michael Alberty)

JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, March 6, 2024
This is an elegant red with aromas ranging from dried earth, sage and black olives to mulberries, mocha and peaches. It’s medium- to full-bodied, silky and refined, with firm yet seamless tannins. 81% cabernet sauvignon 7% petit verdot, 5% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 3% malbec. Try from 2025. (James Suckling)
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Mar 2024
Made with the addition of 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec, the 2021 Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon is a broad, structured and generously layered wine. It exhibits a full-bodied and complex profile with juicy freshness, fine-grained tannins and a dusty essence of dark red and black fruits. Ending with a plummy finish, this wine promises to evolve and drink even better in the coming years. The wine matured for 22 months in new and once-filled French oak barrels and neutral oval botti. A total of 35,292 bottles are ready for release. (Anthony Mueller)

A polished and full-bodied cabernet with creamy layers of blackcurrants, cocoa powder, nutmeg and blackberry fruit, surrounded by ripe and velvety tannins. Delicious finish. 77% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)

The aromatic combination of blackberries and lavender-scented Epsom salts is quite elegant. It will also make you long for a bath to be drawn. Bold acidity showcases flavors like black cherry, orange-pekoe tea and spicy clove. The wine’s texture is sleek and slippery. (Michael Alberty)
