✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the estate Margaret's Vineyard, named in honor of founder John Bigelow's mother, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of JM Cellars' vineyard-designate program. Situated in the prestigious SeVein development in the southern reaches of the Walla Walla Valley, the vineyard sits on a high-elevation hillside where vines must dig deep through wind-blown loess soils into the underlying fractured basalt. This challenging terroir forces the vines to struggle, resulting in small, concentrated berries that yield a wine of remarkable depth, structure, and complexity. The wine is traditionally aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle spice and structured tannins that beautifully frame the expressive dark fruit character typical of this unique microclimate.

JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
