Tasting Notes

"This is our statement to find the best Washington Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage and make it our "star of the show." Dark chocolate, explosive blackberry and a sweet round finish highlight the complex core of this wine. Powerful, yet incredibly refined, this wine walks the balance between old and new world style."
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

The Vineyards
  • 65% of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes came from our Cold Creek Vineyard, one of Washington's oldest and warmest sites.
  • Planted in 1973, the low yielding old vines of Cold Creek produce small clusters and small berries, resulting in intense varietal flavors and deep color.
  • 19% of the Cab came from Mrachek vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, a region known for ripe, jammy Cabernet.
  • 10% Cabernet from our vineyard at Canoe Ridge Estate, 3% Indian Wells Vineyard Merlot and 3% Canoe Ridge Estate Malbec add extra dimension for complexity and refinement.
