The shared vision of the late Russ and Stacy Hamilton for the promise of their vineyards on Red Mountain continues to be proven as this bottling is one of three estate wines featuring Bordeaux varieties to receive a Platinum Award for the second straight vintage. Here’s a sumptuous and summery Cabernet Sauvignon, jammy and fruit-forward with Bing cherry, cassis and boysenberry, backed by touches of gunpowder tea and cedar. And on the horizon is the new Hamilton Cellars satellite tasting room within the Port of Everett’s emerging Waterfront Place. Qualifying awards: Sunset International (gold), Seattle Wine Awards (double gold), Pacific Northwest (gold)
