WINE DESCRIPTION
Alder Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium red wine from Washington State's Horse Heaven Hills AVA, a region known for its warm climate and ideal growing conditions for Bordeaux varietals. The vineyards of Alder Ridge benefit from the Columbia River's moderating influence, which promotes slow, even ripening of the grapes. This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, with fermentation in stainless steel and aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels to enhance its structure and depth. The result is a rich and bold expression of Cabernet, highlighting the unique characteristics of this renowned Washington terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
lder Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon opens with deep aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and hints of vanilla from oak aging.On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, offering flavors of ripe black fruits, dark chocolate, and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure, while the wine's balanced acidity adds freshness, leading to a long, complex finish.
