WASHINGTON
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
94 Passing Time 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills). Predominantly Discovery and Champoux vineyard fruit, the aromas intrigue, with notes of scorched earth, cassis, cherry, bay leaf and whiffs of green pepper. There’s an exquisite sense of balance, intensity, density and granularity to the palate, with chocolaty flavors on the finish. One of the wines of the vintage, it has a long life in front of it. Best from 2025 to 2030. Cellar Selection. —S.S.

The aromas are locked up at first, displaying notes of earth, dark cherry and spice. Dense, focused, structured fruit flavors follow. One of the wines of the vintage. Don’t go near this one until at least 2024. It. —S.S.
