Dusted Valley Vintners 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

Appellation: Columbia Valley

A remake of the label at this rising Walla Walla winery features Ceres, Greek mythology's goddess of agriculture and harvest. Pomegranates play a role in the tale of Ceres' daughter, and they also pop up front and center in the aromatics of this wine, along with currant jam, plums, mocha and vanilla extract. Plums take over on the palate that's so very rich and easy drinking there's very little tannin to slow you down. Red currant acidity shows in the finish, along with green tea and cinnamon. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $26.

Cases produced: 852.

Food matches: Pair this rich red with grilled flank steak.
