The Two Vines designation from Columbia Crest pays homage to a classic vineyard trellis method, where the vine's canopy is trained to split into two distinct cordons. This technique maximizes the generous Washington State sunshine while protecting the delicate fruit, resulting in even ripening and concentrated flavors. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of the Columbia Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted in an approachable, fruit-forward style. It showcases the region's signature ability to balance bright acidity with plush, ripe dark fruit character, refined through light oak aging to deliver a smooth, accessible red wine that has introduced wine lovers worldwide to the potential of Pacific Northwest viticulture.
