Coyote Canyon Winery 2018 Coyote Canyon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills $32

This marks the second vintage for machine harvesting across the 1,300 acres of vines at Coyote Canyon, and these four barrels of Cab showcase the early approachability of Horse Heaven Hills fruit. The theme of dark cherry, toasted oak, black pepper, sage and roasted meat comes through in pleasant fashion with approachable tannins and black currant acidity. Award: Savor NW (gold).
