The Upland Vineyards are in the heart of the Snipes Mountain AVA, a subregion of the listed Yakima Valley. This almost (98%) pure Cabernet has a peppery note, speckled through bright flavors of berries and black currant. There’s a suggestion of moist earth, but the fruit is really the star here. ——P.G.(11/1/2011)—— 90

A solid, earthy, dusty, lightly leathery Cabernet Sauvignon. Though perhaps not technically perfect, it captures the palate imagination with texture and detail, and a light touch which keeps the alcohol around 14% and the tannins proportionate. No massive new oak here either, though the (virtually impossible to read) back label notes that it was made in 100% French oak, half of it new.——P.G.(11/1/2010)—— 90
