Co-owner/winemaker Gary Kagels angles this proprietary blend down the Left Bank of Bordeaux with its construction of Cabernet Sauvignon (37%), Cabernet Franc (25%), Merlot (25%) and Petit Verdot for this downtown Walla Walla winery’s third career Platinum. What this dangles for enjoyment are suggestions of blueberry preserves and plum sauce, joined by espresso ground tannins, dark chocolate, a sense of moist earth and a lick of caramel.

I was out downtown the other night and saw that Plumb Cellars was closed. When I asked around, I heard that they may be closed for good. Please tell me this is a vicious rumor!!
