King Estate Winery Quintessence Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review
We are witnessing a new, exciting style tucked away in Washington’s Columbia Valley. The Red Mountain AVA is emerging as a region with a unique expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and this bottle from King Estate is a great example. It brings a powerful, rustic elegance that leans into the savory side of the variety, with a lively nose of blackberries, soil, aged balsamic, and a dollop of oak.
