{"product_id":"dusted-valley-vr-special-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","title":"Dusted Valley, VR Special Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019","description":"My wife and I opened this on a whim — midweek, nothing fancy planned, just the two of us and a board of cheese we were calling dinner. She poured. I swirled. And then we just… stopped talking. Completely. Which, if you know us, is basically a miracle. I rang Dusted Valley the next morning and told them we'd take whatever they could give us. They obliged. You're welcome!\n\n​\n\nDUSTED VALLEY is one of Washington State's genuine gems — a family winery in Walla Walla that's been quietly making Bordeaux-varietal wines of extraordinary seriousness for years while the wine world stares at Napa. The VR Special Cabernet 2019 spent 20 months in French oak, and the vintage was a dream: long, warm, beautifully even. This is a wine with genuine cellar credentials, but my wife had other ideas entirely and we were halfway through the bottle before I got a word in.\n\n​\n\nDark and brooding in the glass — cassis, crushed blackberry, and a gorgeous seam of cedar and pencil shaving. The oak is perfectly measured, the tannins are like velvet pulled tight. My wife's verdict: \"We need more of this.\" She's right. She usually is.","brand":"Casedrops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181640405338,"sku":"cmpfd0ydg00190bhw4u87e3g5","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/0141\/5514\/files\/cmn4h5mtf000i04jsptw68fdy_e72b01dd-a1de-4fbd-b731-d4269e08a15e.png?v=1779360043","url":"https:\/\/shop.casedrops.com\/products\/dusted-valley-vr-special-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","provider":"Casedrops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
