2021 WeatherEye Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
"A dark, brooding purple and blue core with a lighter purple garnet rim in the glass. A wine that needs time in the glass to really shine, it started off with notes of crushed blackberries, cassis, cedary herbs, pencil shavings, scraped vanilla bean, ground peppercorn, and sweet spice. Aggressive tannins need some time to soften, but even now, it’s drinking beautifully with the mouthwatering acidity and layered texture that hits the palate and doesn’t let go. Bravo! Highly recommended and editor’s choice. 100 points - International Wine Report
About WeatherEye
Located at the top of Red Mountain, with the elevation providing a cooling effect; WeatherEye carefully selects clones, which are then planted in small-blocks. This strategic placement, coupled with a diverse array of trellising methods, is designed to extend the grapes hang time and maturation period. The result is a harvest that boasts not only intensified flavors but also a notable freshness and an array of non-fruit characteristics. WeatherEye has changed what is possible in Washington winemaking and is producing some of the best wines in the World.
