Silver Medal - Newport Seafood and Wine Festival 2008
Aged 30 months in Oak. Rich dark garnet in color. The nose has hints of plums, prunes, and vanilla spice. The middle is rich with a long chewy finish. The finish has vanilla, and cinnamon toast as well as blackberries. Great structure with plenty of tannins to make this wine age for quite a while. Simply delicious!!
Willamette Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with softer Southern Oregon Grapes, aged a year and a half in American Oak and bottled unfiltered, makes this a fine wine.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon shows blueberries and raspberries. Easy drinking with a soft finish.

WINE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINE November 2007 had this to say:
Rough and chewy, to be sure, but it's got flavor in spades. Firm and tannic, this herbal take on Oregon Cabernet would match up quite nicely with skirt steak or anything off the grill. BEST BUY

PROFESSIONAL BRONZE MEDAL WINNER - OREGON STATE FAIR 2007
BEST OF VARIETAL AND A GOLD MEDAL WINNER! ASTORIA SEAFOOD & WINE FESTIVAL, APRIL 2008
This reveals fragrances of blueberries, cherries, pepper, and earth. In the mouth, it’s a silky, expansive, full-bodied, savory wine with beautifully integrated acidity, wood, alcohol, and tannin. Soft tannins add to the luscious texture of this delightful wine. These compact berries produce wines that explode on impact in the mouth, with layers of blackberries, cassis and liquorice.
