From: Columbia Valley, Washington, USA

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes: Opulently elegant black fruit, cassis, and toasty tobacco flower notes play the lead in this harmonious Cabernet Sauvignon, while a touch of mocha makes itself known, building to a harmonious, crescendo-like finish that envelops you in a cloud of rich, silky tannins begging for another sip.

Orenda partners with some of the highest elevation vineyards in Washington State for their grapes. This provides a cool climate with late-ripening fruit. Since the grapes have more time to mature, the wine is more subtle than that made with grapes from warmer areas. Old-world style flavors result when the wine is aged in French oak barrels.
