2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley AVA
Our Cabernet Sauvignon is an exploration of the Columbia Valley, blending fruit from acclaimed vineyards with DeLille winemaking techniques to showcase the purity and complexity of Washington Cabernet. The region’s long, sunny days allow fruit to ripen slowly, creating opulent flavors of dark fruit and dried herbs, paired with cool evenings that preserve acidity. The resulting wines are exceptionally well-balanced, with a full-bodied profile complemented by firm tannins.

Behind the Wine
2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Cabernet Sauvignon is an exploration of the Columbia Valley, blending fruit from acclaimed vineyards with DeLille winemaking techniques to showcase the purity and complexity of Washington Cabernet. The region’s long, sunny days allow fruit to ripen slowly, creating opulent flavors of dark fruit and dried herbs, paired with cool evenings that preserve acidity. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, the resulting wines are exceptionally well-balanced, with ripe, bold flavors and a full-bodied profile complemented by firm tannins.
Vineyards
Columbia Valley provides ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, with dramatic swings in temperature from day to night. This natural phenomenon, known as diurnal shift, offers cool nights that conserve acidity, and intense sunny days that infuse bold, ripe fruit flavors.
Winemaking
Cold soaked 24-36 hours. Fermented for 10-14 days on skin and aged 18 months in 20% new French oak.
