RATINGS

98Vinous / IWC

...beautifully floral, featuring red and dark rose petal tones alongside black currants, black tea and exotic spices...palate is deep, concentrated and sinfully good, layers of ripe black and blue fruits colliding with minerals, scorched earth, tar and menthol undertones.

98+ Jeb Dunnuck

...deep and dense, with ripe black fruits, crushed stone, tobacco, espresso, lead pencil, and graphite all soaring from the glass...bigger, richer, more structured wine with lots of ripe tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great, great finish.

95+ The Wine Advocate

...bold expression of black and blue fruits on the firm, well-structured nose that emanates with elements of elegant oak. Full-bodied and with gobs of juicy, ripe, black raspberry and dark cherry tones, the palate overflows with flavors of savory herbs, bitter dark chocolate and a hint of smoke, followed by a delightful lift of roasted red bell pepper and fine-grained tannins across the mid-palate...long, winding and powerful finish.

95James Suckling

Lovely aromas of nutmeg, blackcurrant, sage, crushed stone, allspice and crushed blackberry. Full-bodied with fine, creamy tannins. So juicy and vibrant on the palate with really pure, herbal and spice character. Long and refreshing.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Horse Heaven Hills

Columbia Valley AVA is larger than some states. At 18,000 square miles, or 11 million acres, the appellation covers almost half of Washington State and a small part of Oregon on the south side of the Columbia River. Established in 1984, Columbia Valley contains numerous sub appellations within its boundaries, including Yakima Valley AVA and Walla Walla AVA, both large and important wine districts. Columbia Valley AVA, generally called the Columbia Basin by Pacific Northwesterners, is in the Columbia River Plateau, and the AVA also includes a section of northeastern Oregon. There are dozens of microclimates within this appellation of about 7,000 vineyard acres. Many kinds of grapes are grown in the Columbia Valley, though the principal grapes planted are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Eastern Washington experiences very hot summers and cold winters, and the northern latitude means that Washington vineyards receive several more hours of sun in the summer than California vineyards. Grapes in Washington therefore have time to develop significant tannins and overall ripeness.

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.
