Black fruit and oak notes with some licorice and spice on the palate. Tannins are soft on the finish. Tasted November 2018.
Pendulum 2016 is a dry, savoury and spicy Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia Valley wine region in Washington. Look for black cherry, savoury spice and toasty flavours on this full-bodied red. Tannins are polished. Drink now and for the next three years. Pair with a grilled venison striploin steak. - Community Wine Reviews
