Two 99 pointers: Washington's Proximity to Perfection
We've been jumping up and down with anticipation since we saw the massive scores for these two blockbuster Washington reds. How about this proximity to perfection: 99 points for K Vintners The Hidden and Cattle King 2014 Syrahs! That's 99!!
Both wines arrive late September and given the huge reviews, we suggest you lock in yours today.
K Vintners The Hidden Syrah 2014
$67.45 in any 12 bottle or Build a Case* order
($74.95 regular)
99 points Wine Advocate: "I continue to feel that this is one of the top Syrahs coming out of Washington today, and it certainly doesn't get the notoriety it deserves. This deep ruby/purple tinged effort offers a sensational, deep, rich and concentrated style that closes down quickly in the glass. Black cherries, wet earth, lavender and incense characteristics dominate the bouquet, and it has a core of sweet fruit, ripe tannin and a blockbuster finish. Give bottles 2-4 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following decade or more."
K Vintners Cattle King Syrah 2014
$67.45 in any 12 bottle or Build a Case* order ($74.95 regular)
99 points Wine Advocate: "Coming from the Upland Vineyard on Snipes Mountain, the 2014 Syrah Cattle King is a huge, powerful, unctuous beast that gives up decadent notes of black and blue fruits, freshly crushed rocks, graphite, iron and licorice. Unctuous, sexy and with gorgeous purity, it carries itself with incredible grace and elegance, without ever being over the top. It flirts with perfection and is one of the highlights of the vintage -- and the region. Give it a few years and drink through 2029."
We're looking forward to helping you with an order. Thanks for your support!
