Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.

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.
