2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Vineyard notes
Double D Vineyard is situated 15 miles Southwest of Lake Chelan, along the Columbia River. From near the river’s edge at an elevation of 700 feet, 55 acres are planted up to 940 feet on a north-facing slope of fine silt loam and tumbled granite. One of our most popular and highly acclaimed wines, this bottling is produced using only the finest blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon from our sustainably farmed Double D Estate Vineyard.
Tasting notes
Our flagship offering from Double D Vineyard, this wine is medium to deep ruby in color, with aromas of red currant, cedar, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, warm notes of cherry cola, almond and graham cracker. Pair with grilled meat or portabella mushrooms with caramelized onions.
