2008 ​Cabernet Sauvignon

Label of 2008 Helix Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley
Phinny Hill is quickly establishing itself as one of Washington’s premier Cabernet vineyards. The first smell drifts me back to elementary school, sneaking a handful of fruit snatched from the bowl placed next to the hand-crank pencil sharpener screwed to the corner of my teacher’s scarred wooden desk. It’s all there: ripe dark Bing cherries with a hint of pencil. With a little exploration the plum and pomegranate expose themselves as the chalky, dusty tannins begin to grip my palate. It’s a young, muscular Cabernet but shows its soft side with a hint of vanilla. ~Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
