Crossfork Creek — Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Yakima Valley (Sheridan Vineyard), Washington, USA 🇺🇸
Overview A polished, elegant Yakima Cabernet showing classic Sheridan Vineyard finesse. Structured yet supple, with cassis-driven depth, dark fruit richness, and a cool-climate herbal lift that feels both refined and quietly powerful. Tastes far more expensive than it is.
Aromas & Flavors Cassis, black plum, blackberry, subtle mint, eucalyptus, cocoa, graphite, and light oak spice.
Mouthfeel Medium-plus to full-bodied with silky tannins and excellent balance. Lush but not heavy, smooth and layered, finishing long and composed.
Food Pairings Grilled ribeye, lamb chops, rosemary chicken, mushroom risotto, aged cheddar, or slow-braised short ribs.
Verdict Beautifully made and genuinely elegant. Complex, expressive, and harmonious without excess weight. A terrific example of Washington Cabernet that delivers both power and finesse.
🍷 Did You Know? Sheridan Vineyard is one of Yakima Valley’s most respected sites, often supplying fruit to premium Washington producers thanks to its warm days, cool nights, and naturally concentrated Cabernet character.
Personal Pick Right in my sweet spot, plush fruit, lifted freshness, and silky structure. The kind of bottle that feels “special” without needing a special occasion. — 2 days ago
Nice Chard. Actually liked it better the second day. Had more honeysuckle notes with some slight floral undertones (Sidenote: I do not prefer oakey Chards). Lovely on a hot day. Best served slightly chilled. — 7 years ago
100% varietal this is the second label a very plummy dark cherry berry fruit some savory herbs and dried tobacco spice and mocha notes. Big but very ripe and round with some tannins here savory herbs and mocha finish. Very good+ — 12 years ago
