Cabernet blend, friendly and approachable today, upscale food-focused wine by Adams Bench.

: Consistently exceptional Columbia Valley Cab, since 2006 “the V” has been the flagship Cabernet of Adams Bench.

LONG: Rich and concentrated aromatics, full and lush mouthful of blackberry, black currant, and violet, ending in a long, slow finish. Drink it at Daniels, Russell’s, Pasta Nova Italiano, or Italianissimo.

RATING Robert Parker 92 “generously layered, with notions of black plum, dark cherries, and dusty blackberry essence that sway with aromas of brown baking spices and baked earth”.

The only Italian varietal produced by Adams Bench, a small production which predictably sells out each year.

A rare and exotic Cabernet Sauvignon from Milo and Kay Mays Discovery Vineyard.
