2021 Tenuta Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

2021 Tenuta
Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGE

2021 was a very warm growing season which resulted in intensely concentrated flavors in the wines. Our typical cool nights during harvest helped us retain the wonderful natural acidity Washington is known for. The season produced red wines dark in color and dense in concentration and white wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy.

VINEYARD

Sourced from the following vineyards in Red Mountain: Quintessence Vineyard (80%) and Col Solare Estate (20%).

WINEMAKING

Harvest occurred on September 17th. The grapes were gently crushed, and gravity fed into a small stainless-steel, temperature-controlled tanks. Following a three-day cold soak, daily pump overs were performed to achieve the desired flavors and extraction. After secondary fermentation, the wines were racked to 100% new French oak, and aged for 20 months prior to bottling.
