Longtime orchardists Jim and Dana Davis have created an elevated experience and wine destination near the confluence of the Columbia and Okanogan rivers, and their connections to winemaker Jessica Munnell and Shaw Vineyards on Red Mountain have led to this first Platinum for Lone Point Cellars. The expressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Malbec (20%), Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc casts out aromas of black fruit, fig paste, vanilla bean, clove, anise, supple leather and cherry pipe tobacco. It’s gorgeously sumptuous on the palate, where the dark fruit, white pepper and bell pepper notes receive a gentle kick of cellar-worthy tannins ahead of vanilla paste in the farewell.
