The wine region of Walla Walla Valley
Star of the American north-west straddling Washington and Oregon: signature Cabernet Sauvignon reigns in reds — structured and concentrated with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a touch of spice, firm tannins, great ageing potential. Racy, complex Syrah (blackberry, black olive, pepper, smoked meat), supple Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese complement. Long season (200 days), hot days and cool nights, loess soils. AVA (1984) within the Columbia Valley.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
