Januik Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14.4%)

Januik Cabernet Sauvignon is a Columbia Valley, Washington red wine bottled at 14.4% ABV in a 750ml format. Januik Winery was founded in 1999 by Mike Januik and Carolyn Januik, with access to fruit from sites including Weinbau, Shaw, Obelisco and Quintessence vineyards. The wine is typically 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged for 20 months in 50% new French oak and 50% once-used French oak barrels, with racking every five months. Ripe black cherry, dark plum, baking spice, cocoa powder and cassis lead the nose. The palate is full-bodied, with blackberry, blackcurrant, pomegranate, coffee, creamy tannins, nutmeg and dark chocolate. The finish carries cherry, espresso and warm spice.
