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: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
