Cataclysm Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2020

As the last ice age came to a close, the glacial dam holding back Lake Missoula would periodically burst, releasing a 400-foot wall of water that tore across the Pacific Northwest. The cataclysmic floods devastated everything in their path and reshaped the landscape. But from this upheaval, new life was born. The floodwaters scoured soil and sediment from the land as they went, pooling and eddying through what is now the Columbia Valley, leaving a nutrient poor, but well drained soil. Pair that with Eastern Washingtons reliable sunshine and wide temperature swings, and you have near perfect conditions for growing grapes. Cataclysm pays homage to the forces that continue to shape and reshape the earth beneath our feet.

Tasting Notes

Showcasing the hidden beauty that arises amidst the chaos, this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with earthy minerality balanced with concentrated dark fruit. Aromas of bramble berries, deep plum, and cherry mingle with rich tobacco and herbs. Flavors of currant and raspberry compote explode on the palate, mixed with cocoa nib, blackberry compote, and resin. This is a robust Cabernet with all the hallmarks of a complex Washington State wine.
