Seven Hills Winery Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
The 80s were an exciting time in Washington State. In 1983, it was awarded it’s first AVA (American Viticultural Area) in Yakima Valley. A year later, a second AVA was given to the Walla Walla Valley. During that time on a cycling trip through Europe, Walla Walla farmers Vicky and Casey McClellan decided to convert their land into vineyards. And the Seven Hills Winery was born. This Cab is a great example of how their legacy endures. Savory on the nose with some dill and oak spice, this wine starts out unique. The palate is soft yet powerful with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. An awesome representation of their region.
