Couvillion 2005 Sagemoor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon; Columbia Valley, WA

This little producer from Walla Walla produces one HECK of a cab. First, the bouquet is thick with vanilla and berries. Sweet tannins quickly give way to concentrated bing cherry, vanilla, pepper, cedar, and other resiny flavors. This lady makes a beautiful cab. I would guess this baby would evolve, for the better, for several more years, but it is drinking wonderfully right now. This wine showcases a full, almost chewy, body; it is dangerously good, I could drink the bottle in a sitting. If you can find this wine (internet best bet) please do yourself and your collection a favor and pick it up. Shows everything I love about quality Washington Cabs! Retail $30.
