ABOUT THIS WINE:

Pip & Plow

Pip & Plow

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – Malbec Blend

Contrary to the cold and wet reputation that the Pacific Northwest has, the Columbia Valley in Washington State is an almost desert-like spot. An incredibly unique region, the appellation is tucked into the central part of the state and sees minimal rainfall during the growing season, experiencing a classic continental climate. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous representation of how the terroir of an appellation can be seen in the final bottle. Winemaking chose to mature wine in the cellar before being bottled and then had the wine sit in bottle for additional aging. This effort created an elegant and beautiful bottle, perfect for special occasions and crafted to pair with food. Made in an authentic Old World style, forward fruit flavors do not star here, but rather balanced notes of deep floral aromas and deep red fruit meld together with perfectly integrated tannins.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Columbia Valley

Columbia Valley

Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.

Redcurrant

Beautiful dried violet, dusty lavender, and pink rose aromas jump out of the glass. Deep redcurrant and slightly sweet cranberry flavors are complemented by notes of cedar. Bold tannins grip the palate and make every sip linger.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
