Woodward Canyon Nelms Road Cabernet Sauvignon

In 1998, Woodward Canyon Winery began producing wines under its second label, Nelms Road. Nelms Road offers a red blend and cabernet sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley and Washington State grapes. It was developed to produce delicious and affordable red wine from younger vineyards and surplus lots of Woodward Canyon production. While these wines may be cellared for several years, they are truly ready for enjoyment now. The warm growing conditions of 2018 gave enticing aromas of black current, olive, spices, tobacco, and lead pencil. The wine is deep red in color. In the mouth the wine offers savory blackberry fruit, mature tannins, beautiful texture, and a long generous finish; the wine is in brilliant proportion. With proper storage, this wine should easily age five years or longer. This red wine would be fantastic with wood-fired pizza, roasted meats, and aged cheese.
