Tasting Notes
McClellan Estate Vineyard, planted in 2002, has consistently been our top vineyard for Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Farmed using LIVE and Salmon Safe certified sustainable viticultural practices, the quality of the fruit is exceptional, and the wine produced from this site is extraordinary. The 2017 vintage showcases aromas and flavors of cassis, ripe black cherry, and cherry cordial along with notes with of umami, anise, cedar, and rich coffee caramel. Polished tannins frame this exceptionally plush Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy!
