The nose is both opulent and refined, hinting at the concentration and detail to come.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied, densely packed, and beautifully seamless, with ripe dark fruit wrapped in polished tannins and subtle French oak spice. The finish is long, structured, and graceful, suggesting excellent aging potential. While already impressive now, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, with 90% sourced from the legendary Champoux Vineyard and 10% from Mach One Vineyard, both in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The area’s warm, dry climate and well-drained soils are ideal for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon to full maturity while preserving freshness and definition. Fruit is hand-harvested, and the wine is aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak, adding depth, structure, and a refined spicy complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest served with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled ribeye, slow-braised short ribs, lamb, venison, or truffle-infused dishes.
