Seven Falls Cellars Wahluke Slope 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Washington), $9.59-$11.99, 87 points, appeared a deep purple/red with a leggy glass bowl and a clear wine ring.
Aromas of cedar and black currant were quite good.
Near full-bodied with good acidity and comfortable tannins redounded to a moderately smooth libation.
Seven Falls presented a rather fruity flavor profile highlighting robust plum and black currant accented by a soft boysenberry.
Finished well on a more pronounced fine/grainy tannic expression, warm spices, and a warm 14.5% alcohol.
Paired well with my rare spiced rack of lamb.
I bought this NW Cab. at the Whole Foods of Bedford.
