Product description

Cabernet has always been and continues to be our standard bearer and that of the entire Walla Walla Valley. We feel it is suited here perhaps even better than its native home of Bordeaux.

Tasting notes

Dark to the rim of the glass, the 2021 Cabernet has an intoxicating perfume of ripe plum and black cherry, graham cracker, crème brûlée, and cassis.  The creamy texture is flawless with tannin and acid in perfect harmony. What the 2021 vintage lacked in yield, it utterly compensated for in quality. This wine is both handsomely built for the cellar and a challenge to not enjoy in its youth.

For optimal enjoyment of this fine wine, please decant for at least a couple of hours before serving.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon is made to age for 20 - 30 years in your cellar. Of course, there are some vintage-to-vintage variations to this recommendation. Wine should be stored horizontally at 55 - 57 degrees in a vibration and light free environment.
