J Bookwalter Winery Chapter 12 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA 2021

Description

The 2021 Chapter 12  is a commanding expression of Columbia Valley fruit with rich, layered, and finely tuned. From the first swirl, it draws you in with aromas of black cherry, cassis, mocha, and a touch of toasted oak.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied and lush, yet impeccably balanced. Dark berry flavors mingle with notes of graphite, vanilla, and a whisper of baking spice, supported by firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. There's depth and precision here.... the kind that comes from careful vineyard sourcing and skilled winemaking.

This is a Cabernet built for those who appreciate power with polish. Perfect for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or aged cheddar, the Chapter 12 also has the structure to age gracefully over the next 5–10 years.

A standout from one of Washington’s most consistent producers, this vintage is a chapter well worth savoring.
