“Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet is one of my favorite vineyards and wines to make. The expression of the vineyard site is so pure – powdery Horse Heaven Hills tannins, enveloped by varietal Cab flavors of dark cherries and fresh cooking herbs and then intensified by the richness and density of grapes grown in a vineyard that was planted more than 20 years ago in 1991. The 2015 vintage was the warmest and earliest to date, however our cool harvest evenings kept the natural acidity intact, so all of the lush, ripe fruit has a tight framework of acidity to best showcase
