✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the historic Bacchus Vineyard, one of Washington State's most venerable planting sites established in 1972 along the Columbia River, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the remarkable depth of old-vine viticulture. Winemaker Ryan Crane of Kerloo Cellars employs a low-intervention approach to let this legendary terroir speak clearly. The vineyard's ancient vines, rooted in wind-blown loess and sandy loam soils, endure hot desert days and cool desert nights, yielding small, concentrated berries. The resulting wine is a masterful expression of Columbia Valley Cabernet, balancing intense dark fruit character with structured tannins, vibrant acidity, and a distinct mineral undertone that pays homage to the rugged Pacific Northwest landscape.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Kerloo Cellars blev grundlagt i 2007 af vinmageren Ryan Crane i Washington States berømte Walla Walla Valley. Her fremstiller vinhuset håndværksvine med udpræget terroirpræg, som hylder de ypperste vinmarker i Pacific Northwest. Filosofien bygger på minimal intervention, afdæmpet brug af egetræ og spontangæring med naturlig gær, hvor Crane stræber efter at fremhæve den rene, levende frugtkarakter fra anerkendte parceller i Columbia Valley og Yakima Valley. Vinhuset har opnået særlig anerkendelse for sine dynamiske vine i Rhône-stil – især enkeltdarks-Syrah og frisk Grenache Rosé – suppleret af energiske fortolkninger af Tempranillo, Grenache Blanc og Sauvignon Blanc.
