The inspiration for this wine came from a German Kabinett. Kabinett's are ideal for a summer evening and easy to drink at the low alcohol. To make this style of wine we looked for Riesling grapes with good varietal flavor at lower sugars (which would equate to lower alcohol) from cooler Yakima Valley vineyards. We also harvested the grapes earlier at lower sugar (about 20° Brix) to achieve a lower alcohol wine. Although the inspiration for the wine is a German Kabinett, it is obviously not German so we took a literal translation and came up with our "Cabinet" Riesling. From the winemaker's secret cabinet we bring you a lower alcohol, light, refreshing flavorful wine that you can have a second glass of on a perfect summer night!"
