Cadence Red Mountain Klipsun Vineyard 2005
|
Firm in texture, this glows with a profusion of red berry and dusky spice flavors around a tight core, with spicy, cedary overtones. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish expands gently. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2008 through 2014. 230 cases made.

From the exceptional Klipsun vineyard, this blend of two thirds Merlot and one third Cabernet Sauvignon delivers beautifully softened and ripened tannins. This is a great effort; it clearly shows why Washington is the place for that grape, and the Cabernet filling in the spine. The oak (40% new, all French) is matched to the weight of the fruit, and used properly, as a spice, not an event unto itself. This is as good as Klipsun gets, with the acid still there, no roasted flavors, no heat and no rough tannins.

Medium red. Slightly high-toned aromas of redcurrant, plum, tobacco, mocha, coffee and menthol. Distinctly hard-edged and leathery on the palate, in need of a bit more texture and depth. Seems a bit hollow. With limited middle-palate flesh, the tannins come across as rather dry and tough. Interestingly, this has a relatively high pH of 3.8, whereas the other Cadence '04s are in the 3.65 to 3.7 range, suggesting that the acid levels fell before the skins reached full ripeness. The least successful of this otherwise superb line-up of wines.
