Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Walla Walla Valley, especially between Seven Hills Vineyard and Minnick Hills Vineyard. They complement each other so well in the bottle, enhancing the varietal profile and texture of the wine. This vintage opens with a big and full profile and softens out with a pleasing long, lengthy finish.
Initial aromatics offer an inviting perception of sweet dark fruit jam. On the palate, a delicate citrusy note emerges, accompanied by a pronounced presence of Tulare cherry that commands attention. A graceful balance between oak influence and ripe, juicy fruit complements the medium body and acidity that carries through to a mouth-watering finish.

We love how large these berries are, and how much they bring the vineyard terroir right to us. We have always enjoyed what the Mourvèdre from this particular vineyard imparts to us, and this vintage held true. We hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful wine on a moonlit evening.
