Tasting Notes
Sweet blackberry, dark currants, mocha and baking spice aromas fill the glass and coat the palate. At once powerfu and elegant, this is a wonderfully rich, balanced wine that showcases the depth of Washington Cabernet Sauvignon as well as Stillwater Creek's distinct terroir.
Vintage
Without exception, winemakers around the state agree the vintage was a classic Columbia Valley growing season. Temperatures were warm in July and August, and then the heat backed off just enough in September to ripen fruit without rushing physiological maturity. The resulting wines are notable for their deep color, wonderful aromatics and delicious, complex flavors.
