Our Thoughts on this wine.....
It's rare to find a Cabernet with this pedigree at this price.
This vintage is principally sourced from the Wallula vineyards overlooking the Columbia River. Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet from such a prestigious site generally costs two or three times as much.
Deep ruby in color with a nose of sweet fruits, the wine opens with notes of ripe strawberries and a delicate dusting of cocoa powder.
Earthy spices begin to layer mid-palate, as well as notes of blueberries and a balanced minerality.
The finish is soothing with a lingering sensation of caramel,
toffee and wreath of chocolate and toasted nuts!
You should open this wine at least an hour prior to serving
and cool it to Cave tempurature (62F)
to enjoy all of the amazing elements of this lush Cabernet Sauvignon!!

A bit about Beckstone…..
The Horse Heaven Hills AVA is home to over one quarter of Washington’s planted acreage. The area is among Washington’s warmer growing regions, making it an ideal place for Cabernet Sauvignon which makes up a large percentage of plantings. Many vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills are planted on south-facing slopes, providing for extended sun exposure.
Over 13,000 years ago sudden ice dam ruptures at Glacial Lake Missoula led to a series of cataclysmic floods that swept across eastern Washington and down through the Columbia River Gorge. These ‘Missoula Floods’ were instrumental in the creation of loamy soils – a gritty mix of sand, silt, and clay deposits that offer a diversity ideal for viticulture. At Beckstone, we source the highest quality fruit from these rich, layered soils at the Wallula Vineyards overlooking the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. ‘Beck’ is an archaic noun that refers to a mountain river, especially a swiftly running stream with steep banks. Our Cabernet Sauvignon honors these historical floods and the ancient balance of sediments that is evident in the wine.
