WINE DESCRIPTION

Canoe Ridge The Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Canoe Ridge Vineyard, a renowned winery located in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA of Washington State. The vineyard is situated on a steep ridge overlooking the Columbia River, which provides ideal sun exposure and heat for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including twice daily punch-downs for tannin and color extraction, and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by firm tannins and a long finish. Canoe Ridge The Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate exploring the smaller, unique AVAs of Washington.
