Luke Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Named after the Wahluke Slope, Luke Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas dominated by Marionberry and dark chocolate, accented by hints of mint and molasses. Supple, focused and expressive, layering coffee-accented blackberry and currant flavors with polished tannins and hints of cedar and smoke.

| The black currant and raspberry aromas are so rich, this wine tiptoes up to cassis territory. Its viscous texture makes the blueberry, poached pear and cinnamon flavors feel like they are careening down a backyard Slip 'N Slide. You can expect plush tannins, medium acidity and a touch of cedar on the finish. |

| The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon entices with a spicy blend of crushed raspberries, offset by peppery herbs and hints of white smoke. It's silky and refined, with round textures and ripe red fruits that flow across a core of juicy acidity. It finishes long and staining, while maintaining a lovely energetic feel, leaving gently grippy tannins that frame the experience well. The 2021 will only require a short stay in the cellar to show at its best. |

| Attractive aromas of black currants and blackberries with walnuts, licorice and hints of moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured with velvety tannins and a succulent aftertaste. Drink or hold. |
