Since we're pretty sure the question will be "how does the Walla Walla Cab compare to the Red Mountain Cab?" we'll focus our note there. It begins in the aromas, with lavender-accented blue and black fruits, a distinct spice profile, more iron-like minerality than graphite, and a shaving of Walla Walla savoriness. This moves differently than the Red Mountain Cab, with a different feel to the tannins and texture that's overall satiny and super-flavorful. Based on our multi-day tasting, this is likely to see the higher end of the score below and could well exceed what is listed.
96-98 points Jeb Dunnuck: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley Estate comes from 1998 plantings and is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. It has some exotic, bloody blue fruits as well as incredible complexity in its lavender, violet, iron, and spice-driven aromatics. Medium to full-bodied and balanced, with fine tannins and terrific purity, it’s another gorgeous wine in the making. There are 225 cases, so not much to go around. The élevage here will span 22 months in 75% new French oak.
