Requiem Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

The 2023 Requiem is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Malbec, harvested from the first to the third week of October from the Rocks District in Milton-Freewater AVA. This unique AVA is defined less by geographical boundaries than by its topography and soil (dark-colored basalt cobblestones). It is situated on an alluvial fan of the Walla Walla River, where the river exits the foothills of the Blue Mountains and enters the Walla Walla Valley. Crossing state lines, the AVA lies within Oregon and includes part of the town of Milton-Freewater. The area within the Rocks District also lies within the Walla Walla Valley AVA, which is entirely within the larger Columbia Valley AVA..

Bold and savory with pronounced aromas and flavors of ripe black fruits and dark cherry, layered with graphite, the signature Rocks District savory earth, and subtle floral and herbal notes. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is juicy, plush, and generous with a gentle tannin structure, creating a harmonious and complex blend.

A great value!!!
