The Soldier Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

The Soldier Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a dry red wine from the Columbia Valley in Washington State, bottled at 14.5% alcohol under a screw cap.

It is made by King Estate, the Oregon winery, from Columbia Valley vineyards. The grapes are cold-soaked for 48 hours, fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks with extended maceration, then aged 24 months in French and American oak, 36% new.

It brings marionberry and boysenberry with lilac, rose, anise, cedar and tobacco, then a succulent palate with silky tannins and a soft, velvety finish. Wine Enthusiast's Michael Alberty notes black cherry, lavender and dark chocolate with plush tannins and a creamy texture.

For a Cabernet with two years in oak, it is an easy everyday price, and a good alternative to a pricier Napa bottle for a weeknight steak.

Serve it with roast beef, grilled steak, burgers, short ribs or aged cheeses.
