Wonderful Washington Wines
Its arid climate and long daylight hours make eastern Washington state ideal for growing cabernet sauvignon. Here are some of its best wines
By Robert Parker & Pierre-Antoine Rovani
My colleague, Pierre-Antoine Rovani, covers the wines of Washington State in detail. The state's wine-growing region, on the drier, sunnier side of the Cascades, has been described as having great but largely unfulfilled potential. Still, many fine wines are produced there, and here are Pierre-Antoine's ratings and tasting notes on a few of the worthy ones-including a 100-point cabernet sauvignon.
