The 2015 'Andreas' is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the Wallula Vineyard and made by winemaker Giles Nicault. The wine was aged for thirty months in French oak (90% new) prior to bottling. Needing more than an hour of air contact to be fully expressive, this wine awakens to black raspberry cordial, coffee grounds and black tea aromas that impress. The silky smooth and rich texture gives way to flavors of mocha, crème de cassis, anise and red bell pepper with hints of white pepper flavors. This is a terrific effort from this warm vintage.
