Hyatt Vineyards Cabernet

Hello Wine Lovers!
Now that Chicago received it's "first significant snowfall" of the year (not sure why the press makes such a big deal out of snow in Chicago, after all, we are in the snow belt)and you have completed your clean up, sit back and open up a bottle of this Cabernet and enjoy! Hyatt Vineyards "Rattlesnake Hills" 2009 Cabernet from Washington State. According to the Hyatt website Rattlesnake Hills "In Spring of 200 the very select micro-climate of the Northern part of the Yakima Valley became its own American Viticultural Appellation. Hyatt and Roza Ridge are in the center of this small and very appropriate new Appellation, Rattlesnake Hills, which enjoys better heat-units than the rest of the Valley – ensuring ripening – with elevations ranging from 700 – 1200 feet above sea level. This more precisely-defined Viticultural area contains 20 wineries and shows enormous promise of balanced and excellent fruit for us to transform into wonderful wines, in the tradition of premier quality Hyatt Vineyard wines." Cabernet continues to flourish here in the US and this is another example of a high quality Cab that you won't have to take out a second mortgage to afford. This little gem will set you back $10 at the Wine Discount Centers. You will find this wine to be medium-bodied and it's offering of ripe, sweet fruits and a concentration of flavor that goes far beyond its price point. This might become your favorite everyday Cabernet! I'll be the first to tell you that most Cabernet of any character these days costs a heck of a lot more than this one! Go buy this by the case!

Cheers!
