Octavian Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is a Costco-exclusive red wine sourced from the McKinley Springs Vineyard in Washington State's Horse Heaven Hills AVA, part of the broader Columbia Valley wine region. Produced by NW Wine Company of Oregon as a custom label for Costco, this 750ml bottle delivers a premium single-vineyard experience at an approachable price point. The alcohol is a well-balanced 13.9%.

The wine presents a deep dark black cherry red color in the glass. The nose opens with ripe black and red berries, accented by subtle herbal notes, cracked pepper, faint dark chocolate, dried strawberry, and a delicate floral edge. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, raspberry, black pepper, plum, orange zest, cooling blueberry, and interesting spice unfold over a long, complex finish. Sweet tannins integrate seamlessly throughout, while bright acidity provides the backbone for the wine's layered flavors to fully unfold.

The McKinley Springs Vineyard is an estate owned by the Andrews family, who have farmed in Horse Heaven Hills for over 80 years and planted their first vineyard in 1980. The Horse Heaven Hills AVA runs along 50 miles of the Columbia River in south-central Washington — a prestigious growing region responsible for all five 100-point wines ever produced in the Columbia Valley. Rated 86 points by CellarTracker community reviewers, this Cabernet Sauvignon is praised as an excellent, very sippable, and well-priced Costco exclusive.
