RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...dark-fruited core of blackberry jus, dusty plum skin and spiced cherry compote with hints of brown baking spices... Full-bodied, firm and tannic with a rustic nature...spicy and mineral-focused palate that is hedonistic and offers excellent action with a ripe attack, showing succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins...fantastic and generously layered, hedonistic Cabernet. Bravo!

94Vinous / IWC

...notes of rich plum sauce, grilled sage and crushed violets. It's silky and refined on the palate, communicating a lovely elegance, as a blend of saline-minerals and vividly ripe blackberry fruits find a cooling balance through a hint of cola.

94+ Jeb Dunnuck

...notes of currants, leafy tobacco, truffle, gravelly earth, and smoked meats. It too is medium-bodied, has good concentration, lots of underlying structure, and outstanding length.

93James Suckling

Attractive cabernet with spiced cherries and blackberries, as well as toast, mocha and walnut undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, velvety and well-integrated tannins. Restrained and textured with juicy berry fruit underneath. Flavorful finish.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley

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.
