Longitude 120 West
Cabernet Sauvignon
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking The delicious potential of this harvest was evident with the first pressing as we gazed at our reflections in a richly colored, nearly opaque juice. Throughout a two-week-long fermentation, our winemakers monitored temperatures and skin contact closely, eager to withdraw every ounce of opulence. Prior to bottling, the wine rested for a generous time on oak before finally sealing the cork on what will be remembered as a stunning vintage for Washington Cabernet.
Vintage The 2018 vintage was as close to perfect as a vineyard manager could wish for. We enjoyed just short of ten idyllic weeks filled with warm, dry days, developing beautifully ripe grapes.

WINE 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.

TASTING NOTES:
Blackcurrant
Tobacco
Oak
This wine presents aromas of sweet tobacco before unveiling a thick, full-bodied palate with soft acidity and a sturdy tannic structure. Ripe blackcurrant introduces decadent dark fruit flavors leading to barrel-influenced notes of baking spice for a complex and lasting finish.
