Grown at the Mach One vineyard, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Clone 685 boasts a devastatingly beautiful nose overflowing with freshness and wonderful floral essences. Soft in style, it exudes a restrained elegance, seducing with fragrant cherry essences and perfumed oak tones. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is gorgeously round and fresh, with juicy red fruit essence, proving bigger isn't always better. The power of this year's Palengat lies in its freshness and focus. Seductive and elegant, this beauty will continue to charm for decades to come. Only 12,900 bottles were made and will be released in April 2024. I'm going back for more; this gorgeous juice is stealing my heart.

Hauntingly dark and floral, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Clone 685 entices with an array of incense and clove, evolving into a mix of dried black cherries and a dusting of cocoa. Sleek and racy in style, this boasts a gorgeous inner sweetness contrasted by mineral-tinged red and black fruits, taking on a bit of a confectionary air without feeling cloying or extroverted. Instead, the 2021 comes across as completely classic, nearly crunchy, with chiseled tannins and a caking of liquid stone enriched by hints of tobacco and graphite. This elegant beauty will require patience but will be worth the wait.

Made from clone 685 grown on a ledge overlooking the Columbia River, this brilliant, focused and linear wine is deep in graphite, black fruit, dark chocolate, raspberries and star anise framed by firm but fine-grained tannins. It has an athletic strength and balance, great concentration and elegance too. Best from 2028.

All clone 685 from a great site in the Horse Heaven Hills, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat's deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a killer bouquet of crème cassis and black raspberry-like fruits that give way to a darker, more inward wine that has full-bodied richness, a concentrated, structure mouthfeel, ample mid-palate depth, and background notes of smoky oak, tobacco, and lead pencil. Give this big, rich, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon 4-5 years of bottle age, and it's going to cruise for over two decades in cold cellars.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

There is little doubt about the fact that the most familiar red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, seen listed on bottles from more or less every single wine producing country across the globe. Part of the reason for this is the fact that Cabernet Sauvignon is a particularly hardy grape, resistant to both frost and rot, and can grow well in a number of climatic conditions so long as it receives enough sunlight and water. Of course, this is only half the story – we cannot ignore the fact that wines made from the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal are prized not only for their strong acidic fruit flavors, spicy and earthy notes and high tannin content, but also for the fact that they age beautifully in oak, resulting in wines which are on another level from those made from lesser grapes. Aged wines made using primarily Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are widely recognized to be the finest in the world. The aging process rounds out the tannins, softens the acidity and allows a wide range of fascinating and complex flavors and aromas to come through, making them an unquestioned highlight of the red wine world.

Region: Washington State

Washington state currently holds host to over six hundred wineries, each producing wines using the many classic grape varietals which flourish in the arid, dry region to the east of the Cascade mountains. Since the Washington wine industry began in the beginning of the 19th century, great efforts have been made to irrigate the semi-desert which makes up much of the state, and the results have been enormously successful in regards to creating an environment in which a wide range of grapevines can flourish. There are certain fine wineries in the wetter western region of Washington, although these make up less than one percent of the region's overall wine production levels. Recent decades have seen red wines becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and many of those produced in Washington are considered to be amongst the country's finest produce.

Country: United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
