Our old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the the famed Block 11 of the remarkable Dionysus Vineyard, situated overlooking the vast Columbia River. This wine is classic in its elegance, complexity and structure, and this wine is approachable now but built to age. This Cabernet Sauvignon is always lush, rich and complex. A blend of 89% Cabernet Suavignon and 11% Petit Verdot this wine has become the anchor of our ANVIL by Forgeron program and is an hommage to the great left-bank wines of Bordeaux.

The newest addition to our ANVIL by Fogeron ultra-premium lineup, our 2016 Syrah is sourced from the Boushey Vineyard; a notable site we have obtained premium fruit from for over a decade. Having long been enamored with the Syrah being grown here, we felt that the time had come to release an extended barrel-aged example of the fruit from this prestigious site. We hand-harvested fruit from the best block, then hand-sorted the clusters into open-top fermenters. By handling this wine with extreme care, we are able to retain its delightful subtleties and nuances in tact while harnessing the power of this richly colored fruit.

We were driven to produce a ‘Right Bank’-inspired Bordeaux Blend from the Walla Walla Valley and had been begging Minnick Hills to gain access to their best fruit so that it could be a part of our ANVIL program. Walla Walla Valley is the perfect place to make this blend due to the long growing season, which results in  longer hang times and ultimately adds complexity the finished wine.
