title: Sno Road 2009 Echo West Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))
description: Quite dark, smoky and well along the path to full maturity, the fruit in this single-vineyard Cab is initially overshadowed completely by scents of charred wood. The soft cherry fruit seems wrapped—indeed soaked—in barrel flavors. With substantial breathing time, the fruit comes up and the tannins subside, at least enough to accompany a grilled steak or burger.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Echo West Vineyard
