2017 Cabernet Sauvignon ASV

18 glass / 64 bottle / 52 club

Exclusive wines from our Ancient Stones Estate Vineyard in The Rocks District of Walla Walla. This tiny AVA is situated on the ancient Walla Walla River bed. Softball-sized cobbles extend more than 300 feet into the earth, requiring vines to reach deep into the terroir in search of water. Deep rooting combined with radiant heat from the rocks during ripening make these wines bold and structured on the palette.

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes
A wild expression of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, this 2017 vintage shines with bright grassy acidity and soft tannin. Surprisingly light on the palate with notes of fennel, pepper, and river rock.

Food Pairing Notes
We love to pair this wine with a robust, aged Dubliner cheese topped with olive oil and herbs du provence.
