A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12.5% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, the 2018 Walla Walla Reserve explodes from the glass with a luscious and generous expression, offering up notions of black raspberry, spiced plum and blackberry jus. Full-bodied, this heavyweight champ has a velvety denseness to the mid-palate, with a luscious essence of crème de cassis, resinous purple flowers and chocolate-covered blueberries. The wine continues to evolve with persistence for more than a minute on the long-lingering finish. It's a gorgeous and generous wine that spent 22 months in new and used French oak barrels. If you can get your hands on some of this juice, don't skip the chance.
