Red fruit leads on the nose, including dark cherry & raspberry, followed by savory hints of cedar, leather & cigar box. The palate is highlighted by a polished mouth feel & firm tannins, & is very focused with notes of dark plum, mocha & cola.
Winemaker Notes
Crushed gently and dropped into 1.5 ton bins, cold soaked for 24 hours, then inoculated with a variety of yeasts, hand-punched and pressed directly to barrel where the wine finishes both primary and secondary fermentations. The individual lots of wine that comprise the Cabernet Sauvignon are kept separate for at least one year before they are blended.

Sourced from five unique vineyards: 25% Tapteil (Red Mountain), 25% Weinbau, (Wahluke Slope), 20% Dionysus (Columbia Valley), 20% Ciel du Cheval (Red Mountain), 10% Bacchus (Columbia Valley)
