Desert Wind Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

This Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, robust and a great example of the powerhouse reds for which Washington State is known. From the warm 2015 vintage, this wine exhibits aromas and flavors of blackberry, cinnamom, cocoa and Bing cherry. Eighteen months of post-fermentation aging allowed the wine to soften and mature, resulting in a complex bottle perfect for drinking now or aging an additional 3-5 years.
The Fries family tends to more than 500 acres of vines on the arid and remote Wahluke Slope and crafts this wine at its production facility in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser, Wash. This is a round and supple red with aromas of black pepper, herbal tea, Marionberry and cola, followed by flavors of ripe plum and blackberry. It’s all backed by mild oak and moderate tannins.
