This 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of its vintage, built from the finest barrels sourced from two iconic Red Mountain sites: Tinte Vineyards and Kiona Vineyards. These vineyards sit in the heart of Washington’s most coveted AVA, where relentless sun exposure, fierce winds, and mineral-rich soils come together to shape cabernets of unmistakable power and structure.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby hue leaning toward garnet, a hint of its patient aging. The aromatics lead with black currant, blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum, forming a rich core of fruit. Layered behind them are notes of vanilla, cedar, tobacco leaf, and worn leather, followed by subtle tones of caramel, toasted coconut, and baking spices from its time in barrel.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with medium tannins and balanced medium acidity, giving it both presence and poise. The structure is classic Red Mountain: firm enough to age gracefully, yet polished enough to enjoy now with a generous pour and a slow evening.

This is a reserve created with intention, showcasing the depth, warmth, and character that make the 2018 vintage one of the standouts of the decade.
