Vintage: 2020

The 2020 Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep, darkly colored wine crafted by winemaker Daniel Wampfler at the renowned Pursued by Bear Winery. This bear cab delivers generous notes of wild blackberry, cocoa, and warm vanilla spice. Hints of ripe black plums and dark cherries build a layered complexity on the palate. Its fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity create a richly textured mouthfeel, giving way to a long and expressive finish. Aging for 22 months in 100% new Taransaud French oak enhances the wine’s structure and elegance. This wine is often misplet as pursuit by bear wine,persued by bear,pursued by a bear and so on.

From the Columbia Valley appellation, this classic Cabernet Sauvignon blend (95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot) shows the lush, pure fruit of New World wines while maintaining the structured charm of Old World craftsmanship. With only 490 cases produced, this vintage stands out as a beautiful, outstanding example of Washington winemaking. Its concentrated flavors and fresh vibrancy reflect the exceptional quality of the vintage.

The color is a healthy ruby/purple hue, while the aromas are attractive and earthy, showcasing red and black fruits with notes of cedar and cassis. On the palate, this bear red wine is medium to full-bodied, with a supple and elegant mouthfeel, clean and ripe tannins, and a robust, firm, and muscular structure. The finish lingers with hints of cocoa and black pepper, making it perfect for pairing with a rich protein dish.

Critics love the Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 for its balance and complexity. Wine Spectator highlights its tightly focused flavors of blackberry, tobacco, and spices that lead to broad-shouldered tannins. Jeb Dunnuck praises its clean tannins, supple texture, and absence of smoky traces, while James Suckling notes its robust black cherry and black pepper flavors.

Critical Acclaim

WS 91
Wine Spectator
Tightly focused and loaded with tension, this red offers handsome flavors of blackberry, tobacco and spices that build toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2025 through 2031. 490 cases made.
JD 91
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Pursued By Bear has a healthy ruby/purple hue to go with attractive aromatics of earthy red and black fruits, leather, and spicy herbs. It’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, and clean, ripe tannins. A beautiful wine in the lineup, it appears to have escaped any of the smoky traces that can mar many of the wines.
JS 90
James Suckling
Robust and firmly tannic, this muscular wine offers black cherry and black pepper flavors on a rather tight texture that needs a rich protein dish for pairing.
