RATINGS

96+ Jeb Dunnuck

...Pauillac-like aromatics of blackcurrants, blueberries, freshly sharpened pencils, violets, and a liquid rock-like sense of minerality. Concentrated, focused, medium to full-bodied, and structured, it has a great mid-palate, masses of ripe tannins, and a great finish.

94The Wine Advocate

...big, bold and delicate with juicy notions of dusty black cherry skin, expressive blackberry and hints of sage with a kiss of volatility, offering a rich and round expression with a delicate mineral essence. Full-bodied, the palate shows varietal purity wrapped in a balanced coat of ripeness, with a succulent opulence and fresh mouthfeel...continues to unpack over the long, lingering finish...

93Vinous / IWC

...dusty and floral, with nuances of violet pastille and mint giving way to cinnamon-laced black currant...soft textured and savory—quite mineral in style, with a hint of sweet spice that gives way to crisp red and black fruits...finishes with nuances of licorice and clove.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
