Gordon Estate 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley

Eventually, people will figure out how remarkable Cabernet from Washington State really is. For selfish reasons, I hope it’s not too quickly. Once they do, we can all kiss these awesome deals goodbye. This bottle of Gordon Brothers shows classical notes of graphite and green pepper on the nose. Those followed by espresso, mint, and nutmeg merge with dark berry and fig notes, followed by a long chocolate finish.
