Photobomb Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Region: Columbia Valley, Washington State

Grape Vareties: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon & 2% Petit Verdot

Former New World Red Club Selection

Prepare to be dazzled by another show-stopping release of the Photobomb Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that only seems to get better with every release. Crafted from 98% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from multiple premier Columbia Valley vineyards and blended with 2% Petit Verdot from the renowned Dionysus Vineyard, this bottling continues to defy expectations for the category. While the Isenhowers keep some vineyard details under wraps, rest assured that many $50+ bottles hail from those same esteemed sources. Adding to its prestige, the wine is aged for 17 months in French oak barrels which is a rare luxury in this price range, where wood chips are the norm.

Before serving, decant for at least 30 minutes because even screw-capped red wines deserve time to breathe. Once opened, the nose explodes with lush aromas of black currant preserves, dried black cherries, Claro cigar, and vanilla wafers. On the palate, it’s plush and round, marked by moderate tannins and vibrant acidity. Ideal with grilled ribeyes or smoked brisket, this wine is a true culinary companion.
