Carefully site-selected, our Alderdale Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the intensity of the sun, the influence of the river, and the complexity derived from our estate vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, resulting in a distinctive and expressive tasting experience. On the nose, this wine opens with layers and layers of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and plum balanced with subtle bay leaf notes. A lush tannin profile leads to a well-integrated palate showing more savory aromas of smoked meat, toasted cedar, warm vanilla, and baking spice. Graceful tannins and lively acidity work harmoniously to create a long and lingering finish. The richness and depth of this wine are an ode to vintage, but more importantly, the hard work and dedication that takes place in the vineyard. Please decant if you would like to enjoy it right away and pair it with grilled ribeye or any other richly marbled cut of meat.
