Corliss Secret Squirrel Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

2018 vintage notes An outstanding vintage in Washington = more fantastic raw materials available for Secret Squirrel. A delicious medley of red and black fruits, tobacco, cedar, hints of dark chocolate and attractive barrel spice make for an outsized value. Really, it's more than we can reasonably expect for a Washington Cabernet at this price. As if we need a "plus," since it's Corliss this had extra time in both barrel and bottle before release (what kind of Washington Cab at this price spends 22 months in barrel? the answer is no other!) so this squirrel is simply singing now. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot. We will never advise you to buy wine based on the label. Especially if there's a critter on it. But when the juice inside comes from one of the best wineries in the state and when it's priced liked this, it changes all the rules. It's not just a squirrel with a mask, it's a Corliss wine. Yes, THAT Corliss—easily among Washington's top prod
