RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...rich and structured nose with a mineral rigidity... Medium to full-bodied...precise and finessed on the palate, with a mineral focus of wet river rock along with some oaky flavors and soft herbal spices. It has a clean line of acidity and tannin through to the finish...

93Stephen Tanzer

...medicinal scents of brambly dark berries, black cherry, dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, licorice and menthol, lifted by a building note of violet. Very densely packed and fine-grained...with fully ripe flavors...concentrated, impeccably balanced wine... Maintains its thickness on the unflagging finish, which features substantial but utterly noble tannins... A superb showing.

93James Suckling

An attractive array of ripe dark berries here with cedar wood and a dark stony edge that really compliments the fruit. The palate has a very resolved and complete feel with ripe bold berries in abundance. Long, firm tannins carry well on the berry and chocolate finish.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley

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.
