Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley, Washington is a bold, structured red wine crafted by Abeja Winery, located at the base of the Blue Mountains just east of Walla Walla. The winery sits on a historic farm estate over 100 years old, and Cabernet Sauvignon is the varietal they have championed as the icon grape of Washington State.

The wine opens with an expressive nose of juicy cherry, blackberry, dusty plum, dried herbs, bitter dark chocolate, espresso grounds, and shades of black currants with subtle mineral notes. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied with flavors of spiced black cherry, dusty plum skin, and soft mocha that carry through to a persistent, elongated finish. The 2020 vintage is a blend of approximately 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot.

Abeja's winemaking philosophy centers on meticulous viticultural management, use of a rare sorting system, gentle handling of both fruit and wine, customized lot-by-lot practices, and carefully selected French oak aging. The result is a stylish, elegant wine combining sturdy structure with polished finesse, built for both current enjoyment and extended cellaring. It pairs especially well with beef, lamb, and aged hard cheeses.
