Pursued By Bear Cabernet Sauvignon is a well-crafted manifestation of Washington State wine, hailing from the fertile vineyards of Columbia Valley. This robust, full-bodied red is replete with complex, layered notes of dark berries, chocolate and cherries. A gentle touch of spice adds to its structured palate. The beautifully integrated tannins offer a sturdy backbone, concluding in a long, satisfying finish. The wine's enigmatic name adds an enticing allure to the well-rounded, flavourful experience. This fine Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute treat to the senses, making it a great addition to any sophisticated wine collection.

Tasting Notes

Dark berry aromas and flavors, along with undertones of plum and cassis, complement the wine’s elegant structure, impeccable balance, and fine tannins. A small amount of Cabernet Franc, a new addition to the blend, contributes refined notes of coffee and tapenade, and a touch of Merlot adds a hint of sweet cherry.
