Using fruit from two top Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards - Champoux and Discovery - balanced with just the right amount of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine expresses all the concentration, finesse, and Cabernet Sauvignon essence that define this appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine has come to embody the style and purpose of Passing Time, featuring classic Cabernet notes of crème de cassis, blackberry, bittersweet chocolate, crushed herbs and graphite. Texture has always been a hallmark of the Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet, and the 2018 vintage shows this beautifully. While approachable in its youth, this wine will reward some patience in the cellar, and age for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Review:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills offers a Graves-like style and reminds me of a great vintage of Haut-Bailly with its full-bodied, sexy, weightless style as well as darker currant fruits and notes of tobacco leaf, damp earth, and cedarwood. A wine that pretty much stopped me in my tracks during my tastings, it is already impossible to resist yet is going to cruise for two decades in cold cellars. The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, from a blend from Discovery, Champoux, and Wallula vineyards, aged 21 months in 80% new French oak.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck 98 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Passing Time","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949040627759,"sku":"W0EE543003CSL","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/passing_time_cabernet_sauvignon_horse_heaven_label_45242a23-9095-4cfa-a39c-e5cde8321632.jpg?v=1771488246","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/passing-time-cabernet-sauvignon-horse-heaven-2018","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
