Cabernet Sauvignon

Walla Walla Valley - Walla Walla - Washington

2011: A late 2010 freeze damaged some vines in the Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla AVAs and a cool summer resulted in the latest harvest on record for many vineyards. Much of the fruit was picked in a short period, creating a compressed harvest. Acidity was moderate in both red and white varieties, and ph was generally low, which will allow wines from 2011 to age for a long time to come. Despite some weather challenges, the fruit from 2011 fully ripened and many vintners celebrated the lower alcohol levels and crafted elegant, complex wines from the vintage. - WashingtonWines.org
