2021 Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon
COLUMBIA VALLEY
VINTAGE NOTES
2021 was a very warm growing season which resulted in intensely concentrated flavors in
the wines.
•
Our typical cool nights during harvest helped us retain the wonderful natural acidity
Washington is known for.
•
The 2021 season produced red wines dark in color and dense in concentration and white
wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy.
•
VINEYARD NOTES
Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive
just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.
•
Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense
aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes.
•
Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity enable precise control of
vine growth.
•
WINEMAKING NOTES
Grapes were destemmed and sorted using cutting edge technology to gently handle fruit,
allowing for more pure, concentrated fruit expression.
•
Gentle pumpovers were used to extract optimal flavor and color and minimize harsh
tannins.
•
Aged for 24 months in 68% neutral oak, 19% new America oak and 13% new French oak.•
TASTING NOTES
The Indian Wells Cabernet is our warm climate ripe, jammy ‘New World’ style of Cabernet
Sauvignon. This premier Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a lush texture and concentrated flavors
of blackberry and black cherry. - Brian Mackey, Winemaker
