Tasting Notes
“Intense cherry, cassis and slight spice aromas lead to fruit-forward flavors of chocolate berry on the palate. This supple wine trails into a long finish that offers silky tannins and a slightly spiced cocoa finish.”
- Ray Einberger, Winemaker
Vineyards-
* Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from vineyards located predominantly on the Horse Heaven Hills (which contributes texture and body) and the Wahluke Slope (for aromatics and complexity.)
* Columbia Valley vineyards are seated east of the Cascade Mountain range. Up to 14,000 feet high, the mountains effectively block eastward-moving wet weather systems from the Pacific Ocean.
* Just 6 to 8 inches of rainfall reach the growing region annually. Vineyards are 100% drip irrigated.
* The soils have low fertility and low water-holding capacity, allowing precise control of vine growth patterns.
* Vines are planted north to south on south and southeast-facing slopes.
