Cedar + Salmon Cabernet Sauvignon (2021) db

Varitetal
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Merlot
Appellation
100% Horse Heaven Hills

TASTING NOTES
Sourced from the rugged slopes of Washington, our Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon opens with spice driven aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. On the palate, saturated flavors of juicy black cherry and black currant are integrated with notes of bay leaf and dark chocolate. A silky mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and strong structure lead to a luxurious dry finish.

WINEMAKER NOTES
A cool spring followed by a record shattering heat event in late June led to a small but strong 2021 vintage. Cooler temperatures in September and October allowed for grapes to hang longer on the vine. Flavor maturity was achieved before sugar ripeness, elevating the wine’s natural acidity. After the grapes were harvested, sorted and fermented, the wine was then aged in 15% new French and 15% new American oak until bottling.

FOOD PAIRINGS
This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect pairing for soft truffle brie, a savory mushroom tart, moussaka, rosemary braised lamb shanks, or a slow cooker beef stew.
