The wine region of Wahluke Slope

Warm well-drained Washington AVA (Columbia Valley, Grant County) facing south over the Columbia: Cabernet Sauvignon signature king red — opulent and ripe with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, cedar and spice touch, round tannins and long finish. Dense savoury Syrah as companion (blackberry, blueberry, pepper, smoked meat). Fleshy Merlot also signature. AVA (2006), constant southern slope, deep aeolian sands, dry continental, ~20% of state harvest.


The wine region of Washington

2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.

The word of the wine: Phylloxera

Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
