cathedral-ridge-rock-star-red-bottleOne of the top wineries in the Columbia Gorge, owner Robb Bell recently opened a tasting room in Dundee, Ore., and this suave blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Syrah offers a pleasant change of pace for those Pinot Noir tourists. The nose carries a theme of blackberry, Belgian chocolate and espresso, and that brambleberry flavor leads the entry. The midpalate features plums, huckleberry, cherries and more chocolate amid a framing of sandy tannins with a focus of blueberry acidity in the farewell.
