2007 Cabernet

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

True to 2007...a vivacious, sumptuous blend of cabernet sauvignon from two extraordinary vineyards in the Yakima Valley and Red Mountain.

	Wine:	Cabernet Sauvignon
	Blend:	100% cabernet sauvignon
	Vineyards:	Boushey 50% (Yakima Valley), Artz 50% (Red Mountain)
	AVA:	Yakima Valley
	Aging:	18 months in French oak, 33% new
	Bottled:	May 11, 2009
	Production:	366 cases
	Notes:	Deep ruby. Firm structure. Crushed currants, violet notes and lavender overtones, bing cherry, blackberry, blueberry, hints of cedar, and lingering baking spice.
	Review:	91 points, Wine Advocate, October 2009: "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (100%) is a saturated purple color with an attractive aromatic array of wood smoke, spice box, violets, pencil lead, and black currant. This is followed by a mouth-filling, savory, intense wine with enough ripe tannin to evolve for another 2-3 years. This lengthy, pure effort will be at its best from 2012 to 2022."
