2014 Treasure Hunter Cabernet Sauvignon Full Quiver, USA, Washington, Walla Walla, Wine review

Treasure Hunter wines have made a nice name for themselves buying excess juice that was not wanted and repackaging it and selling it at a lower price. Some offerings are, of course, better than others. This one is quite good. It retails for around $20 which is an excellent value for a quality Washington sate Cabernet. Purple in color. The nose has nice cassis with leather and some cedar spice. On the palate, this has nice Cassis fruit. Some underlying spice. Medium tannins. Good finish. Will work with heartier foods. Very solid and actually, better than just solid.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Winemaker Bob Bertheau Talks Washington Wine

Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the largest and most revered wineries in America. Located in Washington's Columbia Valley, Chateau Ste. Michelle is often -and mistakenly- overlooked by oenophiles searching for fine American wine. It isn't often that one gets to "talk shop" with the winemaker from a winery of the caliber of Chateau Ste. Michelle -they tend to be awfully busy people after all- but IntoWine.com had the good fortune of being able to do just that. What follows is our chat with Chateau Ste. Michelle Winemaker Bob Bertheau.

Purple in color. The nose has some black raspberries and spice. On the palate, this is solid. Not a ton of depth. Some tart boysenberry flavors. Mild tannins. Finishes slightly hot. Again, a solid wine if the price is right.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Old Vines in Washington State

Zillah, Washington State, 1994. I was completely disoriented. It was hot. I was standing in a dry, semi – desert terrain, but looking west, I saw glacier capped Mt. Rainier. The roads weren’t paved, the wineries badly marked. Tasting rooms consisted of folding tables in the corners of barrel rooms, or in the family rec room with 1970’s shag carpeting. Often, I had to ring an outdoor bell to bring someone in from the fields to pour tastes.

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Purple in color with slight ruby swirls. The nose is interesting with clay, black cherries and cassis. Full bodied. On the palate, this is slightly sweet with cassis and cedar. Nice finish. Drinking well now. Drink over the next five to eight years. A nice match with roasted duck.

$65.00USD

This is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Syrah from Cayuse Vineyard in Washington. At eleven years from vintage it is rolling along just fine. Pop and pour and it was drinking quite well. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose is nice with black raspberries, black cherries, slight burnt rubber/iron and a bit of a slight green herbal note (tarragon?). On the palate, this has a lovely texture. Juicy, black raspberries, black cherries with slight char underneath. Good finish. Worked well with roasted mushrooms. Should have another decade left if well stored but I doubt it
