2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

105 Cases Produced - Organically Farmed Walla Walla Valley AVA

 

In 2019 we produced just 5 barrels of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. This was the second year that our estate was farmed organically, without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. We had to pick slightly earlier than expected this year due to a freeze at the end of September. Fortunately for us, we had already begun the stylistic transition towards making wine that embraces lower alcohol and high acid, so we did not view this freeze as a disastrous event. Rather, we viewed it as nature deciding the growing season was over. We worked with nature and the result was a wine with the same alcohol and acidity levels as the previous

vintage.

 

The nose yields aromas of violets, applewood smoked bacon, and pencil shavings. The vibrancy of the palate is complemented by flavors of Japanese plums, celery leaf, thyme and Herbes de Provence. This Cabernet would pair perfectly with peppery steak, but would also drink well with nontraditional dishes like the Chinese American classic, Beef and Broccoli.
