2005 Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon
 2006 indian wells cabernet sauvignon
Tasting Notes

“The Indian Wells Cabernet is our warm climate ripe, jammy, “New World” style of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 blend really typifies the Wahluke Slope region with up front, dark fruit aromas and flavors with hints of vanilla. Vineyards in the area are more than a decade old now and showing character and complexity.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

The Vineyards
  • This Cabernet is sourced from vineyards predominately from the Wahluke Slope in Washington state, including our Indian Wells Vineyard.
  • Our most northern growing area, the Wahluke Slope is bordered on both the west and the south by the Columbia River.
  • Indian Wells Vineyard is a very warm site with a long growing season.
  • The site’s loamy, sandy, well-draining soils allow vine growth to be meticulously controlled through drip irrigation and canopy management.
  • The region is a consistent producer of high quality, ripe fruit, yielding wine with intense color and flavor.
