2022 History Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER

Powerful and precise, our Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of this storied Washington site. Intense aromas of cassis and quince paste unfold into a dense palate layered with brown sugar and firm, tense tannins. Structured and ageworthy, this Cabernet is a testament to meticulous vineyard sourcing and intentional winemaking, crafted for those who appreciate complexity and character in every glass.

VINTAGE OVERVIEW

The 2022 growing season began with one of the coldest, wettest spring seasons on record in the Pacific Northwest, including a snowstorm in early April that pushed the beginning of the growing season out by several weeks. When the season started, many sites in Columbia Valley saw higher yields than average. Temperatures finally began to rise in late June, culminating in warm, dry conditions that persisted well into October. As a result, the fruit enjoyed extended hang time and was able to achieve phenolic ripeness, and we harvested without interruption or disease pressure until complete.
