Tasting Notes
Sourced from the hilly terrain of Washington, our
Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is dark
ruby in color and spice driven in aroma with notes
of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. A soft entry onto
the palate leads to rich black cherry, black currant
and dark chocolate flavors.
Winemaker Notes
A vintage that saw record heat temperatures,
2015 proved to be an above average warm growing
season in Washington. Although bud break and
harvest were earlier than expected, the result was
deep, rich and fleshy wines with ample structure.
After the grapes were harvested, sorted and
fermented, the wine was then aged in a mixture
of 20% new French, 20% new American and 60%
neutral oak for 18 months. A small amount of
Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot were then blended
in to further the complexity, add spice and round
out the blend.
FOOD PAIRINGS
This rich Cabernet Sauvignon has the backbone to
stand up to a well-seasoned beef roast, a hearty
lasagna with Bolognese sauce, or lamb burgers
with blue cheese crumbles.
