Tasting Notes
Amazing aromas of pepper and earth tones mix with mild red berries. The aromas open up and tend toward earthy and meaty components with milder fruit and oak. The flavor profile mirrors the aromas, at first a nice bright bing cherry tastes comes through only to be coated with crushed pepper and oak notes. The finish shows some leather notes a nice bit of tannin. True to the site and the Horse Heaven Hills the tannins have a unique dusty quality to them that adds complexity to the wine.

2011 was the second cool vintage in a row for Washington State. With GDD well below average some varietals had problems developing full flavor while others thrived in the more moderate temperatures. Grenache is usually picked early at our sight and the cooler vintage allowed for more hang time and full flavor development.
Winemaker Notes
Cabernet Sauvignon from the Horse Heaven Hills is one of the most sought after wines from Washington State right now and we are proud of how our wines stack up to the competition. 2011 was a slightly cool growing vintage for Washington and the wines reflect that in their profiles. A little more refined than our hot vintages these wines should age very well.
