Collusion Cabernet Sauvignon

Grounded Wine Co.

This Cabernet driven Bordeaux blend exemplifies Washington's fascinating terroir. It lands in the glass with an opaque ruby hue, offering gorgeous aromas of juicy blue fruit, red currants, violets, and leafy tobacco. On the palate we find a dense core of red berry fruit scaffolded by ripe tannins. A gracefully bold fruit profile with a dazzling finish. The style is classic—de-stemmed, sorted, fermented in stainless steel, macerated 15 days, then pressed to French oak barriques (30% new) to develop for 20 months before bottling. Washington so often offers profound bang for your buck, yet somehow the Collusion still exceeds expectations.
