Tasting Notes
Both appellations are very distinct but equally complimentary: Red Mountain produces big wines which are highly structured with firm tannins whereas Del Rio Vineyard yields wines that are very fragrant, plush and softer in texture. By combining the two we have achieved a wine that is rich, vibrant, and uniquely Northwest. With extremely low yields and rigorous canopy management of these unique sites, the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes great structure, color, and tannins. The Cabernet Franc gives a lush texture and a bright blueberry note to the nose and palate of the wine. The Merlot fills the mid-palate and adds a measure of softness, completing the overall balance of the wine.
