About the Wine
Let’s face it, not every wine needs to be a “serious” masterpiece with swirling rituals and deep contemplations. Sometimes, you just want a glass of something delicious, easygoing, and totally approachable—and that’s where the 2018 Minute 46 Cabernet Sauvignon comes in.
From the sun-soaked vineyards of the Columbia Valley, this Cab is all about balance—bright fruit flavors, a silky texture, and just enough structure to keep it interesting. Think red berries, a touch of plum, and a hint of spice that makes every sip feel like a little celebration. It’s smooth, it’s friendly, and it’s ready to mingle with everything from a backyard burger to pizza night on the couch.
The Columbia Valley might be known for its high-end wines, but Minute 46 is here to show that great doesn’t have to mean complicated. The warm, dry days and cool nights of this region create grapes that are ripe, juicy, and full of character, while the winemakers keep things refreshingly straightforward. The result? A Cabernet that’s as down-to-earth as it gets, without sacrificing flavor.
Minute 46 is perfect for those moments when you want to pour a glass without overthinking it. It’s the “come as you are” wine of the week—accessible, unpretentious, and just plain enjoyable. At this price, you can stock up and always have a bottle on hand for whatever the day brings.
2018 was an outsanding vintage for Washington State reds. Vinous Media blessed this vintage with a 96pt review and said: "The 2018 reds are serious, complex and ageworthy wines with deep reserves of sweet, fresh fruit and ripe tannins."
