Nose
Our 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon shows beautiful hints of dried herbs, ripe cherry, cassis and black currant on the bouquet. With a little aeration you will find expressive notes of raspberry, ripe plum, leather and tobacco leaf.
Palate
The mouth feel is round and complex and you will get rewarded with an explosion of brambly fruits between layers of subtle, toasty oak. The perfect amount of tannin and acidity bring the frame and structure of the wine together and ensure potential for great aging.
Growing Conditions
In 2012 we experienced a long and warm growing season in Washington, which allowed us to mature our fruit to perfec-tion. Our different Cabernet Sauvignon blocks saw sufficient hang time and produced ripe and intense fruit at harvest time.
Harvest
These flavorful berries were hand-picked and handled with extra care in the cellar.
Winemaking
Creative wine making techniques were used during fermentation and laid a solid foundation for barrel aging. During blending time, only the best barrels from each lot were chosen for this Cabernet cuvee
Aging
Our different Cabernet Sauvignon lots matured for 18 months in French and American oak and integrated beautifully with about 60% new oak.
Food Pairing
Beef brisket, green bean stew and rosemary infused burgers will pair well with our Cabernet.
