✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Planted in 1972, the legendary Cold Creek Vineyard is one of Washington State's oldest and most prestigious vineyard sites. Situated on a south-facing slope above the Columbia River, this warm terroir receives intense sunlight and minimal rainfall, forcing the old vines to dig deep into the gravelly, wind-blown loess soils. The resulting Cold Creek Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, deeply concentrated red wine. It showcases the vineyard's signature character: intense dark fruit flavors, robust structure, and a distinct mineral undertone, all refined through extensive aging in French and American oak barrels. This wine stands as a historic testament to the aging potential and world-class quality of Washington viticulture.
🍾 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.
