2011 Umpqua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Delfino Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2011 vintage showcases the rich and vibrant allure of the Umpqua Valley. This stunning red wine boasts a full-bodied structure with pronounced acidity that perfectly balances its fruit-forward profile, offering a delightful medley of blackcurrant and dark cherry notes. The tannins are notably firm, providing a strong backbone that enhances its age-worthiness. This Cabernet is dry, allowing the intricate flavors to shine through without overwhelming the palate.

Region:

Oregon

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
