Lachini's 2016 'La Bestia' matures in French oak barrels for two years to rein in the rich, extracted taste profile of Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional blending partners Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Not for the timid, this robust Bordelais-inspired cuvee packs in effusive caramelized coffee bean, blackberry relish, and Mexican vanilla aromas to bolster dense mixed-berry and mulling spice notes on the palate. Texas barbeque makes a good match for this potent Washington State red, so order now while it's still available at such a deep discount!

Producers Notes
Classic and bold Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon! We invite you to discover why we named this wine 'The Beast.' Arguably from one of Washington's top vineyards and old vines of Cabernet Franc for complexity and balance. We think this might be the finest vintage in Washington since 2012. We would add that the wines have hedonistic opulence, good acidity, and fine tannins, which complement the voluptuous fruit profile. Our blocks were among the last picked in each vineyard. Our patience during maturation was rewarded with an extracted, high-octane red that has substance to go the distance!

Tasting Notes
Dark, fragrant, and spectacularly rich, it initially bursts with layers of blueberries, plum, and dark chocolate. Ultimately opens to reveal a more nuanced bouquet of violets and cassis combined with layers of tea leaf, tobacco star anise, and spice box. The wine has an amazing texture and depth while maintaining great purity and focus. Beautifully proportioned, it reveals concentrated fruit and sensational structure. It deftly straddles the line of providing near-term pleasure; yet has nicely integrated fresh acids and noticeable tannins to reward patience. Age 3 - 15+ years.

The ‘La Bestia’ opens with dill that collides with the dark fruits on the nose. The palate is plush, delivering a silky texture. Ripe blueberry with blackberry jam and black tea flavors connect with the sagebrush tones on the palate. Downright delicious in its youth, this will evolve well over the next decade.

Aromas of black licorice, vanilla extract, cherry and spice lead to full-bodied cranberry and vanilla flavors. The oak influence (24 months in French) seems quite intense.
