Bunnell Family Cellar 2013 Painted Hills Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $48
By Great Northwest Wine on September 21, 2016
Bunnell Family Cellar, perhaps best known for its outstanding work with Syrah, shows a deft touch here with Cabernet Sauvignon as well. The Prosser winery team, led by Ron Bunnell, brought in grapes from Painted Hills Vineyard, which overlooks the Yakima Valley, and the result is a wine rich in aromas and deep flavors of blackberries, plums and cassis. It finishes long and strong, with well-managed tannins and a touch of slatey minerality. This earned a gold medal at the 2016 Cascadia Wine Competition.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 114 cases
Alcohol: 14.2%
