It's a beauty!
This is a first for Forgeron Cellars - - a designated vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and the grapes are from one of the premiere vineyards in Walla Walla County - Pepper Bridge. Only 308 cases of this fine 2003 vintage and I think it will move fast, even with the $46 tag.
I had a sneak taste about a month ago and again last week. This Cabernet Sauvignon will be one of the many wines released during the Valley's Spring Release Weekend. A dark rich color with a nose of violets and aromatic cigar box. The taste is dense with a mouthful of dark fruit of brambleberries and cherry. Tannins are alive, yet balanced, with a long spicy finish. It will be interesting to watch this wine as it ages. This Cabernet Sauvignon deserves a filet mignon topped with morel mushrooms. Like many of Marie-Eve's wines, this wine is approachable now and very food friendly.
