The nose leads off with plum, bright blackberry, and dark bing cherries. A touch of dried blueberry rounds out the fruit profile. Floral notes and cocoa, with nuances of cedar and spice, are sprinkled throughout. All of these characters follow through on the palate and, with a pleasant minerality and continuity, weave a tapestry of complexity and youthful exuberance.

This Cabernet bottling, sourced from throughout the Columbia Valley, contains 18% Merlot. The two varieties come together with just a whisper of Petit Verdot to craft a delicious, savoury Washington Cabernet—aromas of pencil lead, bramble fruits and leather finish with a kiss of wintergreen. The palate is soft and flashes elegance with ample structure and a richness that retains its fresh fruit character. Bramble berries, black plums and mocha dust are met with sage, white pepper and bay leaf. The finish flashes crushed slate, graphite and a mineral undertone.

A focused cabernet with dark chocolate, blackberries, walnuts, dried herbs, violets and iodine on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with sleek, fine-grained tannins and a savory, mineral edge. Balanced and linear.
