Cougar Crest Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon 06
Cougar Crest Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon 06 - Wine Spectator 93 points
Ripe, vivid and spectacularly flavorful, this Cabernet drips with blueberry, currant, plum and spicy mocha accents as the tannins wrap around the flavors harmoniously. All of it lingers easily on the broad finish. Best from 2012 through 2020. 693 cases made. - HS
85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, all from Stellar Vineyard and Cougar Hills Vineyard. Dense, dark ruby color and aromas of blackberry, currants, licorice, herbs, and mocha fill the senses. The palate reveals finely textured tannins, balanced acidity, and a mouth feel that is smooth and lush. The long, reverberating finish leaves lasting impressions of cassis, leather, and toast. - the winery
