The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is based on 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. A rocking wine offering ample red and black plum-like fruit, chocolate, tobacco, and subtle violet-like aromas and flavors, It's full-bodied and has a terrific mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a great finish.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is spicy, showing off a gentle peppery tinge and dusty rose tones that give way to dried black cherries. This is wonderfully crisp and refined, with silky textures and depths of dark red fruit propelled by juicy acidity. It tapers off long and structured, yet the tannins are quite sweet. The 2021 finishes with a pleasant crunch and a lingering licorice tinge.

Precise and expressive, with handsome flavors of blackberry, bay leaf and espresso that build richness and structure toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2031. 7,364 cases made.

Ripe blue and black fruit on the nose, from dark plums, baked blueberries and mint to wet earth. It’s full-bodied, rich and deep, with excellent concentration and focus. Firm yet ripe, berry-soaked tannins. 76% cabernet sauvignon with merlot, cabernet franc and a dash of petit verdot. Drink or hold.
