From Trader Joe’s:
Nestled amidst the magnificent landscape of Washington’s Columbia Valley AVA, the Wahluke [wah-LUKE] Slope is well known for its magnificent red grape varietals. Its dry days, cool nights, and rocky soils offer ideal conditions for cultivating world-class grapes—and with the right precision and care, world-class grapes become world-class wines.
Trader Joe’s Reserve Wahluke Slope Cabernet Sauvignon is made with 100% organic Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This Cab boasts a bouquet of red plum, cocoa, and rich earth. It’s initially smooth on the palate with notes of ripe fruit and minerality, accented with delicately spiced oak. The long finish is lifted by natural acidity and integrated tannins. This bolder red is a nice complement to the aromatics in a TJ’s Chicken Shawarma Bowl and a perfect match for Double Cream Brie.
Ingredients: Organic grapes, yeast, sulfites.
