“The Indian Wells Cabernet is our warm climate ripe, jammy Cabernet.
The 2005 bottling is no exception. The wine exudes sweet blackberry pie
and vanilla aromas and flavors with loads of complexity. This is our big
bold, obvious Cabernet and after just two vintages, it has quickly become
a fan favorite. Wonderful Cab from such esteemed growers as Indian
Wells, Jones, Washington Fruit and even Cold Creek Vineyard are woven
together with a little Syrah to make a wine that says boldly ‘I’m from
Washington.’ Meant to enjoy in its youth, try it with shish kabobs, a flat
iron steak or even with a nibble of dark chocolate.”
