Tasting notes
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Estate is youthfully understated and delicate in the glass, showing hints of dried strawberries, tea leaves and floral perfumes. This is elegant to the core, with firm red fruits and graphite mineral tones that swirl across a stream of cooling acidity. Primary and intense, the 2021 tapers off classically structured and dramatically long with a bitter bite of licorice. This one will go quick. There are just 225 cases to go around.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley Estate comes from old vines (1998 plantings) and includes 5% Merlot and spent 22 months in 75% new French oak. Gamey red, blue, and black fruits, lavender, dried tobacco, and cedary oak notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, powerful mouthfeel, building yet ripe tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and blow you away over the following 15-20 years.
Savory and aromatic cabernet with notes of iodine, chiles, brewed tea, blackberry fruit and a touch of oregano. It’s medium- to full-bodied with sleek, tight-grained tannins. Hints of spices come out in a delicious finish. Already open. 95% cabernet with 5% merlot. Drink or hold.
