14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon

I recently shared this in one of my columns for The Ledger but wanted to include here as well.  I had been taste testing wines for the annual wine tasting party that some very good friends of ours were hosting and I remembered another delicious Cabernet Sauvignon that I think you'll want to try.   

14 Hands Vineyards is located in the beautiful state of Washington.  This is a region that can really produce some quality wines.  I’ve even had the honor of visiting a few of the wineries in that area – I’ll save that for another column. 

The Cabernet in particular is smooth, fruity, and has just a hint of spice.  I think that this wine can easily be paired with a tender filet (with a blue cheese crust on top of course!), consumed with a nice selection of boldly flavored cheeses, or simply enjoyed in a large glass while sitting in front of the fire and enjoying the company of friends.  At just around $10 at Total Wine, you might as well give a bottle a try.   

This Columbia Valley vineyard produces many different varietals of wine including whites, reserves, and blends.  To learn more about 14 hands, you can visit their website at www.14hands.com.
