K Vintners The Creator Walla Walla Cabernet Syrah Washington 2020

Wine Advocate Review Rated 97/b> The 2020 The Creator is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah. The nose is big, bold and smooth with a juicy, round and mineral-focused expression, offering gobs of dark red and black fruit tones. Full-bodied, the palate explodes with pleasure, showing soft herbal tones with sweet oak flavors that ride with blackberry and dark cherry flavors, compounding complexity while displaying layers of finesse and precision. The wine concludes with a food-friendly finish, emphasizing intense juicy flavors. The wine spent 22 months on the lees in 65% new French oak barriques. You'll want to set your calendars for this one when it's released in the fall later this year. Drink 2025-2040. Wine
Tasting Notes
Seductive. Thoughtful. Seamless. Triggers a yearning... multilayered. Dried cherry, old leather, pipe tobacco, and touches of orange peel. So much depth and so sensual. Black currant, roasted herbs, fresh wildflowers, and a whisper of dried rye and cedar box... It can be said: Creator. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah Alcohol 13.5%
