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.
