2008 Novelty Hill Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
The Columbia Valley is a diverse growing region that provides a wide range of fruit expression and few Washington winemakers know the land as well as veteran vintner Mike Januik. Like previous vintages of this wine, Novelty Hill's estate vineyard Stillwater Creek is the predominant source for the blend, but Mike also relies on a handful of other top vineyards including Alder Ridge, Weinbau and Chandler's Reach to give the wine added layers and complexity.
WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 91WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Bright and expressive, offering a velvety mouthful of raspberry, cherry, blackberry and sage flavors, finishing with a hint of smoke. Shows depth and persistence. Drink now through 2018.
