✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Crowdsourced Cabernet Sauvignon by Columbia Crest represents a groundbreaking chapter in Washington State winemaking. Launched as an innovative, industry-first digital experiment, the winery invited wine enthusiasts from around the globe to vote on every pivotal decision shaping this wine. From managing the canopy and determining irrigation schedules in the estate vineyards of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, to selecting the harvest date, oak aging regime, and final blend, the online community directed the hands of head winemaker Juan Muñoz-Oca. This unique collaborative effort yielded a classic Washington Cabernet, defined by the intense solar radiation and cooling winds of the Columbia River gorge, resulting in a rich profile of dark berries, cocoa, and the signature dusty tannins of the region.
🍾 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.
