2018 Woodward Canyon Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Another stunning vintage from Woodward Canyon, we’d happily kayak down this river of ripe black fruits. It captures the romance of fully mature Cabernet in a way that can only be achieved with old-vine fruit. Smooth, firm tannins cruise to a rich, long finish. Delicious now but we’re not gonna lie, this will find even more exciting depths with a year or two in a cool cellar.

My favorite in the lineup, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, all aged 22 months in new barrels. Loads of ripe red and black fruits, dried herbs, crushed stone, and savory herb notes give way to a full-bodied, concentrated, yet beautifully balanced, weightless Cabernet that will benefit from 4-6 years in the cellar and keep for two decades or more.
