Winemaker Notes

A very dark wine, our '97 Cabernet Sauvignon - Columbia Valley has a beautiful high-tone nose of cassis, mint, leather, and cedar shavings. This elegantly styled, balanced wine is rich, soft, and complex, with an extremely long finish of fruit and oak spice and fine-grained tannins. A compelling Leonetti Cabernet Sauvignon from a great vintage.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 86.1%, Cabernet Franc 6.7%, Merlot 3.9%, Petit Verdot 3.3%

Professional Ratings

    Ripe and clear, with nicely focused blackberry and currant flavors and a trademark thread of spice and vanilla, nicely subdued. Fine-grained tannins don't get in the way, letting the lovely fruit flavors emerge generously.

Image for Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon content section

Washington produces so many exciting wines, and that definitely includes Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With over 10,000 acres under vine, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely-grown varietal in the state. Terrific examples hail from sub-appellations like Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla Valley. One of the fascinations of these Columbia Valley Cabs is that they so often seem to have one foot in the New World and one in the Old. Representing the former are characteristics like the ripe, forward fruit that results from long sunny days during the growing season (up to two hours longer than in much of California). Old World similarities include an undeniable brightness from acidity, as well as notes of herbs, graphite and a dusty, sometimes gravelly minerality.

Whether you’re looking for a budget bottle for everyday enjoyment, or a stellar, world-class wine with tremendous aging potential, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines can deliver the goods! Among the many fine options are bottles from Columbia Crest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, L’ecole #41, Quilceda Creek and Leonetti.
