{"product_id":"abeja-beekeeper-red-2023","title":"Abeja Beekeeper's Blend 2023","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe approachable red from Abeja, the Walla Walla winery named Washington Winery of the Year for 2023, made to be enjoyed young without giving up the polish of a serious Washington Cabernet. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with dark cherry and cassis, while Merlot and Cabernet Franc add softness and a graphite and cedar lift, so it is structured but friendly. It is the youthful, food friendly side of the estate, with firm tannins and balanced acidity that keep it fresh. Serve it with burgers, grilled steak, roast lamb or a mushroom pizza, and give it a short decant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDark cherry and cassis lead, with graphite and subtle cedar, and a hint of earthy spice. The palate is structured yet refined, with firm, powdery tannins and balanced acidity, and the finish is long and fresh. Aged in French oak, with only part of it new. Approachable now, and it should keep for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAbeja, Spanish for bee, is a century old farmstead in the foothills of the Blue Mountains outside Walla Walla, named to honour a deep respect for the environment and the value of working together. The wines are made by Dan Wampfler and Amy Alvarez-Wampfler, whose combined experience includes Dan's time at Columbia Crest, where he helped make the wine that became Wine Spectator's number one wine of 2009. Abeja is known for its Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and it was named Washington Winery of the Year by Great Northwest Wine in 2023. The Beekeeper range is its approachable, youthful collection, poured at a tasting room in the Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abeja","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57913945686403,"sku":"ABJ10523","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/AbejaBeekeepersRedBlend.png?v=1777375625","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/abeja-beekeeper-red-2023","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
