title: Tempus Cellars 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: The old vine fruit lends delicate details of herb, rock and pepper. The flavors are nicely mingled and evocative, and the addition of 10% Merlot from Seven Hills adds further complexity. The wine spent 22 months in 60% new French oak, but the barrel flavors are gentle and well-integrated.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
