2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Willow Vineyard
Subtotal: $0.00
About This Wine:
The most celebrated red wine vineyard in Washington, Red Willow lies in the remote northwestern corner of the Yakima Valley Appellation. Mt. Adams’ 12,000-foot peak and the Cascade foothills rise to the west. There are no other vineyards within 20 miles. At high elevations – 1,100 to 1,300 feet – Red Willow has complex soil formations and steep hillsides. Owner Mike Sauer has developed the 120 acres of land with sensitivity and a respect for soil and slope. The basic landform is a peninsula of land jutting out from the south facing Ahtanum Ridge. The south slope of this peninsula formation drops down into a saddle that runs south to rise upwards to a small hill. There are east, west and south-facing vineyards and these are divided into 40 small blocks of great red varieties.
