Description
East of Washington's majestic Cascade Mountains, the Columbia Valley has received praise for being one of North America's most dynamic and exciting Cabernet Sauvignon producing regions. With idyllic sun-drenched summer days, cold nights and very little rainfall, it is a land of extremes, where Cabernet Sauvignon bunches ripen perfectly on the vines, resulting in energetic wines, with exciting aromas and enticing flavors of plum, black cherry and wild strawberry. The final composition is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 2% Syrah.
Honoring both the rich history of the Duckhorn Portfolio, and the winemaking traditions of Washington, Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine for those seeking something new, new flavors and new experiences.
Winemaker Notes: “ This beautifully structured wine draws you in with alluring aromas of Bing cherry, rooibos tea, loamy earth, and graham cracker, with notions of cinnamon, clove, and wild herbs... ”
