The wine region of Red Mountain
Prestigious sub-AVA of the Yakima Valley (Washington) within the Columbia Valley: signature dominant Cabernet Sauvignon as king red (60% of plantings, clone 8) — dense, concentrated reds with intense black fruits, black cherry and blackcurrant, powerful tannins and an age-worthy structure. Fleshy, deep Syrah with aromas of blackberry, black pepper and smoked meat. Small thick-skinned berries, a 40 F thermal swing preserving acidity. Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec in blends.
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: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
