DeLille Cellars Four Flags Cabernet Sauvignon

The gift of a glorious bottle of wine is always a good thing. It is a fun way to later on down the road remember the giver and relish the event when it was given. Such is the case with this Wine Wednesday bottle. We are so fortunate to live in a state that produces world class wine. If you see ‘Red Mountain’ on a bottle, just know you are in for a treat. Red Mountain is located in the Yakima area just west of the Tri-Cities. TPS & I have spent some amazing times in this region enjoying off the charts amazing wine. DeLille does their magic and bottles in Woodinville, just outside of Seattle. We each enjoyed a glass of this with dinner last eve. Take-out, and a crazy good glass of wine. Ahhhh, the high/low of it!  

From a bit of web searching–by now you know I love a little ‘wine speak’ as it always makes me smile: The wine opens with aromas of anise and blackberry with oak on the nose. Rich layers of anise, blackberry and black cherry on the mid-palate. Dark and deep, this wine is compelling and delicious. There is a vibrant mouthfeel that tells me this will be a long-ager. The wine has moderate tannins that persist and will take time to dissipate.
