The Nelms Road label accounts for 7,000 cases of Woodward’s total production. This label is now in its tenth year. As a second label, these wines are considerably less expensive and far more approachable than the first label cousins. That said, they still have the potential to improve with some age which is nice to see in a reasonably inexpensive wine.
The 2006 Cabernet contains a grape seldom seen in Washington wines, Dolcetto. Dolcetto is common in the Piedmont area of Italy. The 2007 Cabernet should be released shortly.

+ | Nelms Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 | Lots of oak notes with light herb aromas mixed in. Cherry stands out on the taste. The wine has a very good structure with the potential to improve with a year or two of age. Not a whopper but a lot of wine for the money. Consider picking up if on sale. 92% Cabernet; 5% Cab Franc; | $21 |
