Januik - Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington 2019 True Columbia Valley Expression From One of the Regions Top Producers The Januik Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from a short list of vineyards considered to be among the best in the state; including Ciel du Cheval, Champoux, Weinbau, Lady Hawk and Obelisco vineyards. The diversity of these vineyards which represents many of the most mature, carefully managed sites in Washington provide for a full range of fruit expression that allows Januik to craft complex, multi-layered wines true to Columbia Valley terroir. The wine is flawless, this supple, bold Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with dense red and black fruit flavors as well as mocha and cedar notes in the nose. The texture is quite refined and shows great structure across the palate, imparting a long, ample spice filled finish that was developed in part from the use of new French Oak barrels.

"One of the best Lambruscos out there, this delicious, vibrant wine opens with enticing scents of wild red berry, yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom and a yeasty, comforting whiff of pastry dough. Made by carrying out the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the dry, delicious palate delivers pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and tangerine alongside crisp acidity and a saline note."
