Inner Voices - 2019

2019 Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine is comprised almost entirely Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stone Valley Vineyard located in the basalt cobble laden southern region of the Walla Walla Valley AVA. The 2019 vintage was an extremely cool fall in this region that allowed the fruit to hang for an extended period and delivered dynamic flavors that come through wonderfully in this wine.  The result is an extremely approachable, balanced full body wine brooding of red fruit, upfront hints of vanilla, toasted caramel and back end savory notes of desert sage and wet stone.  This wine with a bit of air or light decanting would pair wonderfully with a savory holiday meal without stealing the stage. 

Aged in 70% Used, 30% New French Oak over 24 months.
