Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 

Walla Walla Valley, WA

97 pts. Decanter:

"Ripe blue and blackberry notes with floral quality, minty cherries and elegant oak spices undertones. Chocolatey texture on the palate, dense and concentrated, rounded. Dense core of dark plummy fruit supported by a refreshing acidity."

92 pts. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:

"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot. The nose bursts with bright red confectionery fruit aromas and succulent, plump cherry tones with dusty florals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine shines with purity and freshness on the palate and ends with a spicy, food-friendly finish. It's a fantastic wine that spent 18 months in 45% new French barrels. Barrel Sample: 92+"

92 pts .James Suckling:

"Aromas of red and dark berries, nutmeg, spice box and wet stones. Medium- to full-bodied and firm with compact, polished tannins and a chocolatey texture. Ripe and fruity finish. Drink or hold."

FROM THE WINERY

We have been loving this wine; the progression has been stunning and gets better every year. Dark fruit with hints of blackberry cobbler, graphite, and sandalwood. Mostly grown on warmer sites of the Walla Walla Valley including our estate, Bob Healy Vineyard. Beautiful tannins that are lush and have a strong core that broaden out last minute to an ultra-long finish. A really pleasing and luxurious wine. Drink now through the next 15 years!
