Ginkgo Forest Winery 2012 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Wahluke Slope, $24
One of the few wineries located on the warm, remote Wahluke Slope, Ginkgo Forest now has tasting rooms in Tacoma and Prosser. This luscious red shows why Cab is king in Washington, with aromas of black currant and blackberry, followed by flavors of plum, apple wood-smoked meat and a hint of cinnamon. The plush mouthfeel gives way to a long, memorable finish. It won gold and best in class at the 2017 Wenatchee Wine Awards.
