Harrison Hill

2007 Harrison Hill

This year’s Harrison Hill is a bigger and darker version while retaining the classic Harrison Hill characters of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and its unique Terroir. The nose features a bewitching combination of bing cherries, plums, lead pencil, violets, and wild herbs. On the palate, this wine surprised us with its density and power yet retained the elegance and long, silky finish that are so characteristic of Harrison Hill. Definitely one for the cellar; or put a young bottle in the decanter for an hour before enjoying

Pairing Suggestion

Ravioli with Pancetta — Harrison Hill is a wine that will age beautifully and can be enjoyed with a plethora of selections over time. Consider pairing with grilled or roasted lamb, roasted beef or venison. Earthy vegetables such as Brussel sprouts, parsnips, squash, mushrooms and dark greens pair particularly well. For older vintages, pairings with game birds such as duck and pheasant or lighter stews are recommended.

Behind the Wine

2007 Harrison Hill

A Bordeaux-style blend from a small, historic vineyard on Snipes Mountain, this wine is labelled after the vineyard’s namesake – Harrison Hill. Over the past six decades, the state’s second oldest Cabernet vines have matured gracefully while producing progressively limited yields. This slow, elegant maturation is a compelling expression of what it means to be a terroir-driven wine.

Vineyards

Harrison Hill, a five-acre site in the Snipes Mountain AVA, still boasts a 1962 Cabernet Sauvignon planting by William Bridgman, a pioneer of planting European wine grapes in Washington State. These vines are the second oldest in the state, and the oldest used in commercial wine production.

Winemaking

Single Vineyard blend from Harrison Hill. Stainless steel fermented, 14-16 days on skins. Barrel aged 20 months in French oak (92% new). Bottle aged 10 months prior to release.
