Grounded Wine Co. Collusion Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Our vineyards on Red Mountain and in the Columbia Valley yielded smaller crops in the 2020 vintage, due to a large 2019 crop and some inclement weather at bloom. Bud break in mid-April and warm weather through the summer months allowed for steady, gradual maturation. Higher temperatures in September, combined with smaller clusters and berries, resulted in a high skin-to-juice ratio, which explains the concentration and deep color of this wine.

Pour it behind closed doors alongside nicely-salted grilled New York Strips.

92 Points - James Suckling

A powerful, stalwart wine that’s sturdy in structure, nicely filled out with red and black fruit and full-bodied without overdoing it. Oak spices from French and American barrels add some cocoa, vanilla bean and cinnamon accents. Made from 75% cabernet sauvignon with portions of malbec, syrah, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold.
