#17 WS Top 100 2024
This wine has been on fire and 2021 is a stunning vintage - a classic Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon with a small percentage of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec blended in to add complexity and delicate aromatics. The fruit comes from four world class vineyards - two of our more youthful estate vineyards (Bob Healy and Flying B) beautifully complemented by fruit from the historic blocks of Seven Hills and Pepper Bridge Vineyards. Perfectly ripe plums, blackberry, and memories of walking through a native sagebrush field in Walla Walla on a warm fall day. Rich and concentrated from the warmth of the vintage, the wine has fine grained tannin that builds and evolves, red fruit, subtle hints of graphite and charcoal from great French oak and Italian concrete. Enjoy this new vintage now through the next twenty years!

“Exhibiting a violet, rose and dark berry fruit redolence which billows across the nose and palate and mingles with the plush tannins and lingering length.

Broad-shouldered in style but rich and detailed, with blackberry and currant flavors accented by black olive, stony mineral and licorice notes that gather tension toward firm tannins. Needs time. Best from 2025 through 2033. 2,214 cases made.

This is a rich yet elegant Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers optimal pleasure the minute it is opened. You are greeted by ripe black cherry aromas that are encircled by notes of black coffee, leather and sandalwood. This is a medium-bodied wine with velvety tannins that delivers lengthy blackberry pie and anise flavors.
