With a tannin level of notable firmness, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers a structured and well-rounded tasting experience.

Tasting notes:

Memorable and complex. Aged aromas of leather and toasted oak lead into a full-bodied palate with velvet-like acidity and bold tannins. Dark fruit flavors fall secondary to oak and have progressed from fresh and ripe to rich, stewed black cherries followed by a lingering woody finish.

Region:

Rattlesnake Hills

A small sub-region in the north of Yakima Valley, Rattlesnake Hills is a relatively new AVA. It has gained recognition for its finely balanced Riesling and Chardonnay and its structured Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The key is its hilly topography, with vineyards sitting at average elevations of 850 feet. The vines here enjoy better sun exposure and improved airflow than those in the valley below, helping the grapes stay healthy through the long growing season. With broad day and night temperature variations, wines from Rattlesnake Hills are increasingly in demand for their elegance.
