Saturn's Rings
Columbia Valley, Washington
Put a ring on this decadent Cab, which bursts with astronomical fruit flavor
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Saturn's Rings
Cabernet Sauvignon
In comparison to the surrounding area, Washington's Columbia Valley offers a different climatic world. With this 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, our winemakers at Saturn's Rings bring this unique terroir to light by crafting a wine filled with exceptionally ripe fruit flavors and substantial sweetness. Like our Solar System, winegrowing conditions in this arid AVA revolve around the sun. Its high latitude allows for more daylight hours than the more southerly Cabernet powerhouse of California, meaning that these Washington vineyards receive minimal solar relief; the sun bathes the region with its powerful rays, providing the necessary light and heat for photosynthesis. The leaves absorb sunlight and convert it into oxygen — for our own planet's atmosphere — and glucose, which the ripening grapes appropriate.

WINE REGION:
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.

This wine is a stellar discovery for those who gravitate toward immense fruit. Aromas of plum and redcurrant float upwards to your nose before a rich, jammy body grounds you with sweet flavors of fruit preserves and bramble. Partner a glass with hard cheeses and roasted meats.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Saturn's Rings
Can you imagine the early conversations about planets? How did one first comprehend a group of celestial orbs rotating around a glowing ball of fire? Some made of gas, minerals, ice or rock, and some with rings? Truly incredible. Saturn's Rings celebrates the open mind and thirstful quest for knowledge. These wines embody the winemaker's imagination which, much like the early astrologers, is never held back by the boundaries of the unknown. Each bottle is like the night sky—filled with fascination, beauty and wonder.
