This is a very tightly wound wine, featuring aromas and flavours of black cherry, tar, espresso, blackberry and an ironish/blueberry tinge. Lovely. 90 Points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)

This lovely Cab. Sauv. from Columbia Valley has aromas of blackberry, licorice, vanilla, dark chocolate and tobacco. It is big on flavour, full bodied with medium, smooth tannins.
Pair with steak, ribs.

Sagelands was established in 1984....a great year!
Very subtle nose of dark berries. Full-bodied, chocolate and dark fruit on the palette, medium to high tannins and a long lingering finish. Don't think you're limited to dark meats with this wine. You could pair this austere red with fish if you use bitter ingredients. Such as an olive crusted red snapper where the olives bridge the gap between the fish and a heavy red wine.

89/100 with the following review:
An intense blast of fresh mint, floral, plum and mineral aromas to start. The palate shows a more rustic side of chewy tannins, high balanced acidity, and complex flavours of dried fruit, earth, dark chocolate and anise. A rich and robust full-bodied red ready to pair with Beef Wellington. Tasted Jan 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

An interesting Washington cab sauv. It's grippier than others from the area, which will make it a perfect pairing for roasted meats, but has the same dark fruit, cocoa and vanilla. The subtle mintiness is a nice surprise and there is a bit of spiciness to it.

There is lots to like about this Cabernet from Washington State. The price for one - this is a great value wine. Smooth but with lingering tannins. Aromas of red fruit; blackberry, black cherry and vanilla. Velvet mouthfeel with flavours of cassis and black currant. This would be a versatile Cab to pair with many meat dishes. In fact, I think it will go very nicely with my roast pork for tonight's dinner!! Tasted January 15, 2017.

Dark ruby in colour with aromas of blackberry, cassis, plum and black cherries. It is has well balanced alcohol, acidity and tannins. The ripe fruit flavours of black cherries and cassis really come through. This will go excellent with a nice BBQed steak or ribs.

Cabernet Sauvignon is generally a great value from the Columbia Valley in Washington, and this is no exception. Lots of cassis and currant on the nose, ripe red berry. Smooth tannin, and lots of berry flavour come through on the palate, along with a bit of mocha and vanilla. Pair with braised beef ribs.
