“Cabernet from this 30-year-old vineyard always delivers power, structure and rich concentrated black fruit. The 2005 bottling offers dense aromas of boysenberry and brown sugar spice with layers of fruit with nicely integrated, yet very age-worthy, tannins. This is classic Cold Creek, and classic Washington state Cabernet. It demands a good rib eye!” -Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

• Planted in 1973, the south-facing Cold Creek Vineyard is a warm, dry site with high heat accumulation.
• The low yielding old vines produce small clusters and small berries, resulting in intense varietal flavors and deep color.
• The site’s weak, loamy sand and gravel soils with low-water holding capacity produce moderate crops and concentrated grapes.
• Cold Creek typically is one of the earliest vineyards in the region to ripen.
