2015 Mark Ryan Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley ($59.99)

“A tiny 245-case production based on Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a very pretty, perfumed, fresh style in its violets, blueberry, mint and bay leaf aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and with good acidity, it has a firm, focused style. It will evolve nicely for 4–5 years than drink nicely for more than 10–15 years.” ~Wine Advocate, 93–95+ points.
