Abeja Cabernet Sauvignon Heather Hill Walla Walla Valley 2021

95 Points Wine Enthusiast Earthy blackberry and espresso aromas strike first, with bursts of cherry blossoms, straw, thyme and saline following in rapid succession. Those scents tempt you to sit with the wine for a few minutes before tasting. A sweet baked good flavor similar to a blackberry tart dominates the palate. Lesser notes of Bergamot tea and cedar are equally enjoyable. The wine's imposing tannic structure and noticeable acidity suggest you can enjoy it until 2040, perhaps longer.

93 Points Vinous The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Heather Hill is dusty and floral, opening with a whiff of crushed stone, exotic spice, dried violets, and currants. Decidedly savory, it sweeps across the palate with soft textures and medium-bodied weight, as hints of lavender pastille and tart blackberry fruit swirl throughout. This finishes with a pleasantly bitter sensation while finishing long and structured with a balance that will promote extended cellaring.

92 Points James Suckling This full-bodied red shows black and red currants, olives and dried herbs on the nose. It’s savory and compact, with firm yet sleek tannins. Excellent length. Drink or hold.

91 Points Jeb Dunnuck The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Heather Hill is a refined, age-worthy vineyard-designate with impressive structure and dusty tannins that also shows a hint of earth, dried herb, and leather. Quiet red fruit continues on the midpalate, a mix of cassis and black cherry, finishing in balanced acidity. Enjoy over the next 10-12 years.
