Cataclysm Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review

The Columbia Valley in Washington State is known for its Merlot, which became very popular in the state in the early 90s. These days, the Columbia Valley is really expanding the list of grapes grown but Cab has been there for some time and this bottle is a nice example of this fertile desert region. Soft and floral on the nose and palate with a definite tannic frame, this is a wonderfully balanced wine with soft fruit coming through the austere drying effect. Even though it’s a few years old, it can still age a few more.
