Winemaker Notes

Rich violet and garnet edges. Aromas of blackberry, black currant, clove, chocolate, toffee, leather, plum, violets, and coffee. Flavors of blackberry, black cherry, dried tobacco leaves, cinnamon, cigar box, and rhubarb pie. A full and complex entrance sets the tone. Layers of varietal characteristics flow through the mid-palate. e structure and balanced tannins lend to a lingering finish.

Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc

Wine Spectator

Bright and generous, with a minty edge adding depth to the generous black cherry and pear fruit. Lightly gritty tannins blanket the finish. Best from 2018 through 2023.

The 2013 North by Northwest Cabernet Sauvignon is seriously good. The wine offers a tightly-knit palate and flavors of red currants and black earth. Its crisp finish makes it a dinner companion with prime rib of beef. Drinks well now. (Tasted: October 3, 2016, San Francisco, CA USA)

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

Washington produces so many exciting wines, and that definitely includes Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With over 10,000 acres under vine, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely-grown varietal in the state. Terrific examples hail from sub-appellations like Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla Valley. One of the fascinations of these Columbia Valley Cabs is that they so often seem to have one foot in the New World and one in the Old. Representing the former are characteristics like the ripe, forward fruit that results from long sunny days during the growing season (up to two hours longer than in much of California). Old World similarities include an undeniable brightness from acidity, as well as notes of herbs, graphite and a dusty, sometimes gravelly minerality.

Whether you’re looking for a budget bottle for everyday enjoyment, or a stellar, world-class wine with tremendous aging potential, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines can deliver the goods! Among the many fine options are bottles from Columbia Crest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, L’ecole #41, Quilceda Creek and Leonetti.
