2023 capital call
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
vineyard: wheatfield
This medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate Wheatfield Vines Vineyard is filled with notes of spiced cherry, blackberry, and plum jam. On the palate, there’s more luscious Walla Walla Valley fruit plus hints of sage and oregano.
With refined tannins and elegantly balanced acidity, this Cab would be an excellent pairing for a classic prime rib dinner during the holidays or a big tray of chicken cacciatore for your annual neighborhood potluck.

“Overflowing with voluptuous black fruit infused with tobacco leaf, graphite and dried herbs. This red is polished and expressive, sculpted with an underlay of shining acidity and snowflake-like tannins. The fruit is elegant yet compact, defined by ultra-smooth cassis, blackberry and black cherry that gain exponential depth midpalate, layered with complex spice details that encircle the impressive finish. Shows terrific scope and depth.” – Tasting Room Magazine

“The aromas lead with an appealing medley of black cherry, plum, and spice. Rich, full-bodied flavors follow, mixing fruit and barrel. Firm tannins back it up. It shows some warmth on the finish. It’s classic Cabernet, chock full of rich fruit, counterweighted by plentiful barrel spices.” – Sean Sullivan, Northwest Wine Report
