Washington Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This is a bold and vibrant Cabernet that overdelivers in every way. The bouquet opens with aromas of ripe fruit, followed on the palate with concentrated flavors of blackberry and cherry. The long finish leaves a lasting impression with notes of cedar and fine-grained tannins. Pair this wine with red meats or roasted chicken.

VINEYARDS: High River, Brylen Vineyards

Known for its many and varied microclimates (cool, warm, windy, hilly, flat), Columbia Valley is the umbrella AVA under which many of the state's sub-AVA fall. While it contains 99% of wine grapes grown in Washington State, 6,851 of its acres are unique to the Columbia Valley and don't overlap another sub-AVA in the state.

The 2022 harvest had a slow start in Washington due to an unusually wet and snowy spring. Despite a few days with temperatures breaking 100°F, temperatures across the state tended to stay within the optimal ripening zone throughout the summer months. While autumnal rainfalls further delayed the completion of harvest until late November, fruit was plentiful. The red varietals from this 2022 vintage have great color and intensity with earthy notes and big tannins.

HARVEST: Oct. 15 - Nov. 26, 2022
