The 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon displays plenty of cassis and black currant fruit in a forward, easy-going style. It is meant to be enjoyed now through 2017. Gifford-Hirlinger is one of many eastern Washington wineries to have opened a tasting room in the Seattle area to be nearer to customers and to facilitate direct sales. The new releases are all solid efforts meant for early drinking.Tel. (509) 301-9229; www.giffordhirlinger.com
