✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from the celebrated Stone Tree Vineyard, perched on the arid, sun-drenched slopes of the Wahluke Slope AVA, this Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Columbia Crest's single-vineyard expressions. Planted on ancient, gravelly soils deposited by the historic Missoula Floods, the vineyard is renowned for its intense heat accumulation and dramatic diurnal temperature swings. This unique microclimate coaxes out extraordinary concentration, rich dark fruit flavors, and ripe, velvety tannins in the grapes. In the cellar, Columbia Crest employs traditional small-lot fermentation and extended French oak aging to craft a wine of remarkable depth, complexity, and structural integrity, capturing the wild, untamed spirit of Washington State's premier desert terroir.
