✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Red Willow Vineyard is one of Washington State's most historic and revered wine-growing sites. Located in the far western corner of the Yakima Valley, this multi-generational vineyard was pioneered by Mike Sauer and is famous for its unique soils, steep hillsides, and the iconic stone chapel that sits atop its highest ridge. Kerloo Cellars sources Cabernet Sauvignon from this legendary terroir to craft a wine of immense character and structural integrity. Embracing a low-intervention philosophy, winemaker Ryan Crane coaxes out the vineyard's signature savory complexity, dusty mineral tannins, and dark fruit profile, showcasing a more old-world, elegant expression of Washington Cabernet Sauvignon.
🍾 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.
