Capablanca Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills 2020

Today’s wine is something truly special. I did my own digging and managed to dig up my own NDA-worthy Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet.

While trying to branch out and find the next great thing in the region, I stumbled upon a single barrel of some of the most lush Cabernet I’ve tasted in ages. The only hitch is I could have it, but it had to be labeled to protect the winery from which it came.

So you won’t find any information on this wine anywhere. It’s exclusive to us and only a single barrel was made – 24 cases. (If you know how barrel math goes – you’ll notice there’s one missing!)

The 2020 Capablanca Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet is a deep dark purple and features a surprisingly vibrant nose of fresh blackberry, violets, and creme de cassis. The mouth is full-bodied and plush, round and juicy with a core of black currant and a kiss of oak.
