Some day, somewhere, when fine restaurants reopen, a sommelier will speak to his table:
'you know those box wines you became familiar with during the pandemic? What we have here is a great vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon from a winery on the Wahluke Slope in the Columbia Valley AVA.
Lean, restrained, acidy and alive, with puckery tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. It was the talk of the Grand Tasting at last year’s Taste Washington. And, it's squeeze the bladder delicious.'
