2019 Wallula Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep, dense, and soulful. Soft lingering tannins makes the Wallula Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ready to enjoy!
Black/red hue. Aromas of blackberry liquor, baked pie crust. tobacco leaf, black and red currant, dried thyme, olive tapanade, and sea salt minerality. The mouthfeel is tight on entry with a density of fruit (blackberry and currant) followed with notes of green olive and dried herbs. The finish is long and lively with gentle tannins caressed by the acidity.
The third vintage of Wallula Cabernet Sauvignon is showing promise and class of Wallula Vineyard. I had three clones of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on 2.4 acres. Clone 7 is my favorite and gives power and richness. Clone 412 is dark and rich with a floral aroma. Clone 33 is a fruity Cabernet up front with tannic power on the finish. All three create a Cabernet Sauvignon that is greater than the sum of its parts.
We harvested Wallula Cabernet on October 23, 2019. All the grapes were hand-picked, hand-sorted and fermented by yeasts specific for Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were punched down twice daily, and the wine was pressed off the grape skins at dryness. The Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 100% French Oak (30% new) for 22 months prior to bottling unfined and unfiltered.
INGREDIENTS & ADDITIONS: Cabernet Sauvignon, yeast, yeast nutrients, tartaric acid, French oak, and sulfur dioxide.
