title: Woodinville Wine Cellars 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Though the vineyard sources—Stillwater and Conner Lee—are first-rate, this wine seems a bit disjointed at the moment. Sweet, juicy fruit opens up into a midpalate that seems to have a hole, and then the aggressive flavors of vanilla surface. The vanilla-tinged finish feels tacked on, though perhaps some further bottle age will help to smooth it.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
