Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14.5%)

Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend from Columbia Valley, Washington, from the Abeja winery in Walla Walla. It is fermented with native yeast after a five-day cold soak, then aged for 22 months in 75% new French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The nose leads with crushed blackberries and dark cherry, with mint, vanillin, violets, dried herbs and a mineral note. The palate has concentrated black cherry and currant, with nocino, dark chocolate, walnut, oolong tea and tobacco. The finish is full, with cocoa, cedar and dark fruit.
