RATINGS

93Jeb Dunnuck

...core of ripe red and black fruits as well as lots of smoky earth, tobacco, sappy flowers, and spice nuances...medium to full-bodied richness and present yet polished tannins...

92James Suckling

Dried violets, blueberries, currants, orange zest and mocha on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Structured, creamy and flavorful with a savory finish.

Pungent peppery, herbal lift to the aromas of currant, tobacco leaf, menthol and bitter chocolate. Densely packed, savory and light on its feet, with the herbal quality accenting but not overwhelming the wine's dark berry and spice flavors. A bit of free-floating oak gives the finish a dusty element.

90+ The Wine Advocate

...delightfully expressive nose of dusty plum, blackberry essence, juicy redcurrant, dusty red and purple flowers and elegant oak spices of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is focused and balanced, showing the most approachable expression of the range...long, lingering finish, the wine offers persistent flavors of bitter dark chocolate and dark cherries.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Walla Walla Valley

Walla Walla Valley AVA likes to call itself the Napa Valley of Washington, and given the concentration of well-reviewed wineries in the appellation, the comparison is understandable. The Walla Walla appellation is comprised of 340,000 acres, of which 1,200 acres are vineyards. Walla Walla is located in the southeastern corner of Washington and it extends slightly into northeastern Oregon. It is named after the Walla Walla River Valley, and the city of Walla Walla is the commercial center of Washington’s wine industry. The city was founded in the 1840s by the Hudson’s Bay Company as a trading post, but as early as the 1850s farmers were planting grapes for winemaking. Prohibition shuttered winemaking in the early 20th century, but a winemaking renaissance started in the 1970s when Leonetti Cellars, still one of the state’s most acclaimed wineries, started producing acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon. Walla Walla’s AVA status was awarded in 1984 and today there are more than 100 wineries. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most frequently planted grape, followed by Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese Chardonnay and Viognier.
