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: Yellow wine
White wines from the Jura region aged in oak barrels without topping up for at least 6 years. A veil of yeast forms on the surface of the wine, which undergoes slow oxidation, giving it a particular taste reminiscent of nuts.
