The wine is made from grapes grown in the Columbia Valley appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.

The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla. It is a classic example of a Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon, and is sure to impress any wine lover.
