A year ago, Jason Gorski won a Platinum for the 2017 edition of this vaunted Cabernet Sauvignon program. This fall, he climbed the ladder with the 2018 vintage by earning a Double Platinum, and it was constructed from four vineyards on Red Mountain – Ciel du Cheval, estate plantings Grand Ciel and Upchurch, and historic Klipsun. It’s a Cab lover’s delight with some suppleness as plum, black cherry, cinnamon toast and allspice are presented in impeccable fashion. “It’s simply lovely,” remarked one judge. Awards: Cascadia International (gold), Sommelier Choice (gold), Seattle Wine Awards (gold), Bellingham Northwest (gold).
