The
Columbia Valley is a diverse growing region that provides
a wide range of fruit expression
allowing the winemaker to craft rich, multi-layered wines
by blending grapes from unique vineyards throughout the
region. Vineyard sources that give this wine its richness
and complexity include the winery’s estate vineyard of
Stillwater Creek, and such other well-known sites as
Alder Ridge
in the Horse Heaven Hills and Klipsun Vineyard on Red
Mountain.
Rich
and expressive with ripe blackberry, currant and spicy,
black cherry aromas and flavors. Well-balanced, with
plenty of dark fruit flavors lingering across a lengthy,
expressive finish.
Aged
in both new and one-year-old barrels (predominately
French oak) for 18 months, the blend is
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc.
