✨ Technical Specifications
Kerloo Cellars' Cabernet Sauvignon represents a thoughtful, terroir-driven approach to Washington State's signature red grape. Sourced from premier Columbia Valley vineyard sites, this wine showcases a commitment to minimal intervention. Unlike the heavily oaked, high-alcohol styles often associated with domestic Cabernet, Kerloo focuses on elegance, freshness, and structural integrity. The fruit is typically fermented using native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak or concrete vessels to preserve the pure, vibrant character of the grape and the unique mineral signatures of Washington's volcanic soils. The result is a sophisticated expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that balances dark fruit flavors with savory complexity and refined tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2007 by winemaker Ryan Crane in the renowned Walla Walla Valley of Washington State, Kerloo Cellars crafts artisanal, site-expressive wines that celebrate the Pacific Northwest's premier terroirs. Operating with a philosophy centered on minimal intervention, low oak influence, and native fermentations, Crane seeks to showcase the pure, vibrant fruit character of respected vineyard sites across Columbia Valley and Yakima Valley. The winery is particularly acclaimed for its dynamic Rhône-style offerings, notably single-vineyard Syrah and crisp Grenache Rosé, alongside energetic expressions of Tempranillo, Grenache Blanc, and Sauvignon Blanc.
