A great Costco find for the Cab lovers, the Luke Cabernet Sauvignon from the Wahluke Slope.
87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot from a number of vineyards (Weinbau, Stone Tree, Northridge, King Fuji, Clifton Hill and Ravenscliff) in the Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington. The wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak. It is also vegan friendly.
The Luke Cabernet Sauvignon has an SRP of $25 and is available widely including at Costco for just $17.99. 19,550 cases were produced.
From the bottle:
The true depth of a man’s character is often unknowable, but one conversation was enough to convince me that Luke was an imitation of no one. He revealed himself slowly, like a freed wind emerging from the shadow of a mountain. Undeniably complex. Bold and determined, but unabashedly generous.

We’ve reviewed this wine a number of times in the past and have always enjoyed it, so let’s check out the 2020 and see how it holds up.
The 2020 Luke Cabernet Sauvignon begins with pleasing aromas of black cherry, blackberry and other dark berry fruits plus spice, vanilla and a bit of a meaty note. It’s quite nice.
Tasting the smooth and flavorful wine reveals it to be not quite as big as I was expecting but quite juicy and good. Really deep and thick dark berry flavors with elegant touches of spice and vanilla and some dusty tannins lead into the dry, grippy, very long finish.
The wine was just as good on day 2 where the oak notes had smoothed out a bit more and the wine was really easy to drink.
We love wines from Washington State and this area in particular. The Wahluke Slope proves to be an ace in the hole once again.
