92 Points.  Top-rated value from Washington.  Ripe and rich, a full-bodied, generous Cabernet Sauvignon that focuses its dark-toned berry, black olive and pepper flavors beautifully. The tannins are present on the finish but can’t stop the fruit.

Terrific Washington State Reds

“Abundantly full of ripe black- and red-currant fruit.”

“Washington’s best wines offer quality equal to top reds from California’s star regions, often at about half the price.”

 Highest Rating – Gold Star
Black currants  and baked goods on the nose; black currant, cedar and oak-derived flavors.  Medium bodied, bright and refreshing on the palate, with a long, composed finish.

Smooth and supple, Amavi’s 2005 Cabernet includes a healthy bit of Syrah which adds details of spice and pepper to the smooth and supple cassis and black cherry fruit. Tannins are ripe and well-defined, and the wine carries subtle suggestions of olive and tea. It’s focused and bright, polished and immediately delicious though it could certainly cellar for a few years.
