Substance Cabernet Sauvignon '14

USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
$16ish

Poundability: 4/5
Value: 4/5
Overall: 4/5

Dark red color, medium body with nose of red fruit - black currant.

Bright ripe fruit flavors, blackberries, cherries and currant.  Strong oak influence - vanilla.  Got light cedar and eucalyptus.

Soft but with great complexity and a long finish - easily 60 seconds or longer.  Not the Cali fruit bomb that is becoming more and more common.  Much more restrained then most new world cab's.  Mild acidity and tannins.  No harsh alcohol finish, leading to high poundability.  Lighter then expected as well.  Would definitely recommend and repeat.
