2014 Sineann Cabernet Sauvignon Block One, USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Wine Review

This is from fruit from the Champoux Vineyard. Ruby/purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. Cassis, graphite, slight burnt rubber and a hint of volatile acidity on the nose. Full bodied. Nice texture. On the palate, cassis with some cedar. Deep and complex. Medium tannins. Long finish. This is showing well and pretty close to peak. No hurry though. Drink over the next ten to twelve years. Better with food. This would work well with Beef Wellington.

Purple in color, ruby t the rim. The nose has cassis and bell pepper. Also some baking spice. The bell pepper is distracting but eventually mostly blows off which is fine. On the palate, this is better. Cassis with some underlying oak/spice. Some depth and complexity. Seems tight and a bit shut down at this point, so give it plenty of air if opening. This will work with medium and heavier foods nicely. Certainly has potential for improvement.

The names stems from the original release of this wine back in the mid-90's. The vines used were from one of the younger blocks in the famous Champoux vineyard. Now the vines are over twenty years old and this wine is from the best barrels of the wine. An excellent value in Washington state Cabernet. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has black cherries, spice, and slight cedar. Full bodied. On the palate, black cherries, spice and slight graphite note. Good balance. Nice depth. Medium tannins. Nice finish. This is drinking well now and should continue to drink well for a

This is one of the best values in Washington Wine. From what used to be young vines in the Champoux Vineyard, these vines are no longer young. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has cassis, plums and black cherries with spice and slight char. Full bodied. On the palate, this is getting closer to peak. Great fruits (Cassis and black cherries) with underlying scorched earth. Complex, it unwinds in the glass. Nice finish. No hurry on this, it should drink great for the next ten to twelve years. It drinks nicely on its own but will work better with food. Roast Turkey would wo

Wow. What a showing. The grapes for this come from a "young" block in the Champoux vineyard. Of course, they were not really that young in 2008. And the best few barrels of this were bottles separately as a "Reserve". This may be the best Washington Cabernet I have had. Period. OK, let's get this part out of the way. I know the producer - Peter Rosback. We have been friends for over 40 years since our college days, but I don't believe that influenced this review. I literally had to go back and check the bottle after taking a few sip. Purple in color. The nose has cassis, black c

From the younger vines in the Champoux vinyard, hence the name (although the vines are around 30 by this time). A delicious Washington state Cab from an Oregon producer. Purple in color. The nose has cassis, slight bell pepper (in a good way), leather and spice. On the palate, this is full bodied and bold. Firm tannins. Deep but tightly wound. Lots of cassis and black cherry fruit. Nice finish. This needs some time and should peak in another ten years or so. There is some upside.
