The Seven Hills Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a robust red wine, with a rich variety of flavors. The nose shows hints of baking spice; the result of oak aging in French, Hungarian, American, and Russian oak barrels. The aromas lead effortlessly into a palate of red cherry, currant, raspberry, vanilla cream, coffee, violets, and pie crust. This myriad of lovely flavors makes this Cabernet Sauvignon one to remember. The mouthfeel is full of fine grained, grippy tannins that that finish with a hint of earth.
