From yet another negociant winery on the rise in Seattle comes this smooth, easy-to-enjoy and easy-to-open Cab that’s influenced by Wahluke Slope fruit from the Milbrandt brothers. It’s fruit-forward and low oak from start to finish with aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, Western serviceberry, fresh herbs and cocoa powder. Black plums and cherry flavors led to a rich midpalate of currants, finished by blueberry juice, a grind of blueberry seed and a drop of vanilla. Diversion’s wine and cheese tasting mat suggests pairing their Cab with Beecher’s No Woman Jamaican-influenced cheese.
