Satisfying, strapping, velvety.
The CS Substance Cabernet Sauvignon is made from Columbia Valley fruit and was aged on lees for 11 months in French oak, 50% new.
It's fruity and flamboyant with velvety cassis and cherry aromas woven with lavender, licorice, rich dark coffee and a splash of mint. It's a strapping red with similar flavours of mocha, salted licorice, leather, pipe tobacco and brown spices.
Deeply satisfying and approachable.

Tangy, zesty, pristine.
Fun and fresh and slightly off-dry, this popular Washington State Riesling doles out notes of peaches and crunchy apricots, honey and kaffir lime, green apples and honeysuckle. It is tangy, snappy and pristine with a long and mouthwatering finish.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Tangy, zesty, effusive.
Fun and fresh and off-dry, this popular Washington State Riesling has quite a following. Expect aromas apricots and crunchy green apples, honey, lime with orange blossom water. It is also effusive and lip-smacking and entirely quaffable. Great acidity helps cleanse the palate and it has a lengthy finish.

Ripe, supple, savoury.
Smoked and meaty, with savoury spice aromas woven deftly with espresso powder, cocoa and freshly picked blackberries. It is supple on the tongue with a generosity of ripe fruit layered with mocha, molasses, toffee and spice. Solid wine, seems slightly riper than the previous vintage I tasted.

Buttery, persistent, creamy.
No shy Chardy here. Fresh and crunchy yellow fruits, caramels and citrus, nuts and baking spice lead to a palate that is sweet and buttery; similarly nutty and spicy in the mouth is has a creamy edge and a bite of citrus. Good overall weight and persistence.
Pair:squash ravioli, cornbread, shellfish, roasted chicken
