title: Fielding Hills 2008 RiverBend Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Wahluke Slope)
description: Though the blend includes small portions of other grapes—9% Syrah, 3% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc—this really champions the essential character of great Washington Cabernet. Its core fruit is supple and compact cassis and black cherry, with a spicy top note that resonates well into the finish. Concentrated and beautifully proportioned, with black olive and just a hint of leaf in the finish.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
