2018 Powers Kiona Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Red Mountain, WA

From: Red Mountain, Washington, USA Varietals: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Syrah, 1% Merlot Tasting Notes: Complex and layered aromatics of raspberry and plum alongside dark red fruits, with a hint of spiced cherry, licorice, and warm earth tones on the nose. These aromas lead into diverse flavors of plum, red currant, and warm dark chocolate and spice that linger on this complex palate. With firm dusty tannins that are balanced by a nice touch of oak, acidity on the finish, this is nicely structured Cabernet Sauvignon that will age nicely. Pairing: This wine will pair nicely with many dishes, from hearty pastas to grilled vegetables (especially portobello mushrooms), carne asada (and many other grilled meats), and even rack of lamb. We love Laura Lee’s quick and easy recipe for Steak Marinade. Winemaker notes: “We are very excited about [the 2018] release of the Kiona Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique blend is made up of two different blocks within the Kiona vineyards site.
