✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from one of Washington State's most revered and formidable sites, the Kerloo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon from Klipsun Vineyard showcases the dramatic terroir of the Red Mountain AVA. Established in 1982, Klipsun Vineyard is legendary for its harsh, wind-swept desert conditions and high-calcium soils, which force the vines to struggle, yielding tiny berries with exceptionally thick skins. Winemaker Ryan Crane masterfully coaxes elegance from this notoriously powerful fruit. By employing low-intervention cellar practices, Kerloo tames the fierce, structural tannins characteristic of Klipsun, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon of immense depth, balancing intense dark fruit with savory earth, crushed rock minerality, and a refined, age-worthy structure.
🍾 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.
