Bear Cub's new vintage is incredible—if there's a better Washington Cabernet-based blend for the money, prove it! Loaded with beautiful cassis and deep blueberry, it is playfully fun to open and drink now but much like a bear cub, there’s strength and ferocity right under the surface. It's rich and plush in all the right ways, welcoming and even—smooth—with mocha a just-right kiss of spicy oak. Simply outstanding. 82% Cab, 11% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot.
If forced to pick an all-time favorite musical act, it would have to be The Police. Yet ask me how many bottles of Sting’s Tuscan wine I’ve purchased (or drunk for free, for that matter) and the answer is zero.
The same is true for other celebrity wineries’ juice; to say I’ve approached them skeptically is an understatement. But this little Bear buddy has softened me up.
Pursued by Bear is the actor Kyle MacLachlan’s winery. You may know him best from Portlandia. Or perhaps you were more of a Twin Peaks fan. Either way, it’s important to know that MacLachlan’s roots are in the Northwest–he grew up in Yakima, Washington, and has been a fan of Washington wine since the ‘90s.
After developing a fondness for Dunham wines, MacLachlan enlisted the expertise of Eric Dunham to begin Pursued by Bear in vintage 2005; the winemaking is now shepherded by Dan Wampfler (formerly of Dunham, now the winemaker for Abeja).
Pursued by Bear was also listed by the excellent Washington wine reviewer Jeb Dunnuck as one of the dozen exciting Washington wineries people should have on their radar: “Pursued by Bear might have a whimsical name, yet the wines continue to go from strength to strength.”
