✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' 'The General' Cabernet Sauvignon represents a bold, structured expression of Washington State Cabernet, typically sourced from premier Columbia Valley vineyards. Winemaker Ryan Crane applies a low-intervention philosophy to this cuvée, utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels to preserve the intense dark fruit character, refined tannins, and distinct minerality characteristic of the region's volcanic soils. The name 'The General' pays homage to a sense of leadership, structure, and commanding presence, mirroring the wine's powerful yet sophisticated profile. It showcases the capability of Washington terroir to produce Cabernet Sauvignon with both New World fruit intensity and Old World structural elegance.
🍾 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.
