Rich and polished, this Royal Slope Cabernet offers blackberry, black currant, plum, and raspberry, with accents of black tea, baking spice, mocha, and vanilla. Full-bodied yet balanced, it has fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish. Its poised fruit and polish suggest a more relaxed, Washington expression of Napa Cabernet.

Serve with grilled steak tips, roasted lamb, or aged cheddar.
