The 'Fianchetto' Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the XL vineyard, which sits high above the Walla Walla Rocks AVA. The wine was aged in 75% new oak for 27 months prior to bottling. This stunning Cabernet Sauvignon starts off with a bouquet of blackberry jam, crème de cassis, dried herbs and tar. On the palate this possesses striking minerality as flavors of crème de cassis, blackberry pie, mocha, pipe tobacco, and cedar add layers of complexity. Rich, yet possessing some incredible acidity, this will have a tremendous future ahead.
