Estates Cuvée is a blend from all five of our estate vineyards. Each site contributes to the wine in a special way, resulting in a declassified estate-grown wine that is uniquely representative of Washington state. We sold our vineyards in the Columbia Valley in 2019 to purchase Red Mountain’s Artz Vineyard, meaning this is the first version of Estates Cuvée to be 100% Red Mountain sourced. In a world of contrived red wine blends with obfuscated sourcing, Estates Cuvée stands apart as a breath of fresh air.
Cabernet Sauvignon takes the driver’s seat in the 2019 version of Estates Cuvée, and for good reason; it’s delicious, we have it planted everywhere, and our region is famous for it. Blended to be the perfect glass pour for that corner bistro you really enjoy, we employed a gentle–but lengthy–oak regimen to let the fruit shine.
