The Chasing Rain Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a wine that has been selling for $20, but I found it for $10. It is produced by winemaker Joshua Maloney.
The Story
The Chasing Rain Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a wine that has sold for between $20 and $25 and was considered a bargain at that price.
A local Chicago wine shop has a weekly sale where a wine is 50% or more off the list price. Liquor sales are way down, so they are getting creative to get folks in the store.
Red Mountain is in the Columbia Valley AVA of Washington, and it is east of the Yakima Valley, north of Horse Heaven Hills, and west of Walla Walla. It is considered a top grape-growing region.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot; they are all grapes approved for Bordeaux wine.
The Chasing Rain Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 was fermented in Stainless Steel tanks, but was aged for 18 months in American oak barrels, 30% new barrels, the rest used.
This is a wine that was considered to be a bang-for-the-buck wine at $20, so it should be an outstanding wine at ten bucks.
The alcohol content is 14.5%.
