Vineyard Sources: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Boushey Vineyard, Yakima Valley.
Boushey Vineyard, located in the Yakima Valley AVA of Washington state, is a renowned 125 to 160-acre estate known for cool-climate, high-elevation grapes, particularly Syrah and Rhône varieties. Established in 1980 by Dick Boushey, the site is characterized by south-facing, steep slopes (800–1,400 ft) with silt loam over fractured basalt soils. Grapes are highly sought after, with around 30 top producers purchasing fruit from the vineyard. Considered a cooler site in Washington, leading to extended hang times, which result in balanced, lower-alcohol wines with good acidity and intense, savory flavors.
ABV: 15% // 122 cases produced
Aging and Barrel Program: 40% New French Oak // Aged for 24 months
Tasting Notes: 2022 was a higher yield year, with an unprecendented warm "Indian Summer," which allowed for nice, long ripening and beautiful balance. This Cabernet is luscious and velvety from nose, to mouthfeel, to finish. Deep, rich, red fruit- yet still bright. Notes of leather, mint, dusty cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla from those beautiful new French oak barrels. Balanced tannin for age ability.
Food Pairing: Anelare's Bab's Avenue pizza, aged Gouda, Manchego, Blue cheese, cured meats, New York strip, or an Earthy Risotto.
