2020 The Walls Curiositas Cabernet Sauvignon | Red Mountain AVA Columbia Valley Washington 750ml

Based on 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Cabernet Franc raised in 80% new French oak, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Curiositas has a textbook Cabernet nose of pure creme de cassis, redcurrants, crushed stone, and lead pencil shavings, with some background, building minerality. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, good mid-palate depth, and a clean finish. Like many 2020s, it's more streamlined and narrow on the palate and finish but is clearly an outstanding bottle of wine. | 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
