Grown at the Mach One vineyard, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Clone 685 boasts a devastatingly beautiful nose overflowing with freshness and wonderful floral essences. Soft in style, it exudes a restrained elegance, seducing with fragrant cherry essences and perfumed oak tones. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is gorgeously round and fresh, with juicy red fruit essence, proving bigger isn't always better. The power of this year's Palengat lies in its freshness and focus. Seductive and elegant, this beauty will continue to charm for decades to come. Only 12,900 bottles were made and will be released in April 2024. I'm going back for more; this gorgeous juice is stealing my heart.

Hauntingly dark and floral, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Clone 685 entices with an array of incense and clove, evolving into a mix of dried black cherries and a dusting of cocoa. Sleek and racy in style, this boasts a gorgeous inner sweetness contrasted by mineral-tinged red and black fruits, taking on a bit of a confectionary air without feeling cloying or extroverted. Instead, the 2021 comes across as completely classic, nearly crunchy, with chiseled tannins and a caking of liquid stone enriched by hints of tobacco and graphite. This elegant beauty will require patience but will be worth the wait.

Made from clone 685 grown on a ledge overlooking the Columbia River, this brilliant, focused and linear wine is deep in graphite, black fruit, dark chocolate, raspberries and star anise framed by firm but fine-grained tannins. It has an athletic strength and balance, great concentration and elegance too. Best from 2028.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Since their conception in 18th century France, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have flourished across the Old and New Worlds and have changed the way we think about red wine forever. Their sharp and astringent nature has a wonderful ability to mellow and round with age, and when helped by being blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc varietals – as is done in Bordeaux and elsewhere – the results can be truly remarkable. What is most special about Cabernet Sauvignon grapes is the fact that they have a true affinity for oak, and when aged in barrels made of this fragrant wood, the wine which comes out of them a few years later holds an amazing array of flavors and aromas, making Cabernet Sauvignon based wines some of the most memorable in the world. Single variety bottles from the New World made from this grape are also increasing in popularity, as the strong flavors and full-bodied nature of these wines is a great match for many global cuisines.

Region: Washington State

Washington state currently holds host to over six hundred wineries, each producing wines using the many classic grape varietals which flourish in the arid, dry region to the east of the Cascade mountains. Since the Washington wine industry began in the beginning of the 19th century, great efforts have been made to irrigate the semi-desert which makes up much of the state, and the results have been enormously successful in regards to creating an environment in which a wide range of grapevines can flourish. There are certain fine wineries in the wetter western region of Washington, although these make up less than one percent of the region's overall wine production levels. Recent decades have seen red wines becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and many of those produced in Washington are considered to be amongst the country's finest produce.

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
