✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Beverly Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon showcases one of the Columbia Valley's most extreme and distinctive terroir sites. Situated on a remote, windswept sandy bench directly adjacent to the Columbia River, the Beverly Vineyard is defined by its deep, free-draining sand soils and intense desert heat. These harsh conditions force the self-rooted vines to dig deep for water, resulting in low yields of small, highly concentrated berries. Columbia Crest's winemaking team utilizes this fruit to craft a bold, structurally commanding Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine undergoes extended maceration and is aged in select French oak barrels, yielding a profile rich in dark blackberry, cassis, and espresso notes, underpinned by a distinct dusty minerality and robust, ripe tannins that reflect this unique desert landscape.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Columbia Crest blev grundlagt i 1983 i Paterson langs Columbia-flodens solbeskinnede bredder og har spillet en afgørende rolle i at etablere staten Washington som en vinregion i absolut verdensklasse. Vingården ligger i hjertet af Columbia Valley og Horse Heaven Hills, hvor vinstokkene nyder godt af ideelle vækstbetingelser med markante temperaturforskelle mellem dag og nat samt veldrænede jordbunde. Huset forener præcisionsdyrkning i vinmarken med moderne kældermetoder for at skabe vine med imponerende konsistens, dybde og umiddelbar tilgængelighed. Columbia Crest er især berømt for sin fyldige, velstrukturerede Cabernet Sauvignon, sin bløde Merlot og sin spændstige Chardonnay, som udfolder sig i anmelderroste serier som Grand Estates, H3 og flagskibet Walter Clore Private Reserve.
