THE WINE
A Cabernet to impress any discerning drinker, this wine is powerful yet elegant with fine structure and a style all its own. The 2016 Disruption Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of three unique vineyard sources. First, the Wahluke Vineyard provides concentration and density with its 35 year-old vines. The Northridge Vineyard, located a mere 5 miles from Wahluke, has rich soils that bring bright acidity, amazing color, and focus. Finally, the Denhoed Vineyard’s cool climate contributes flavors of bright rhubarb, cedar and currant. The wine sees enough new French oak (20%) to add depth and richness to this focused Cabernet. The palate opens with aromas of dark fruit and cedar. The wine only improves with aeration, which makes the texture velvety and wonderfully integrated. The finish continues on the palate for a good while with distinct flavors of blackberry fruit, pipe tobacco and earth.

FOOD PAIRING
Try this with mom's Prime Rib roast - it's serious enough to hold up to a fine cut of meat. If you're in the mood for something simpler, go for a Neapolitan pizza.

"Attractive, fresh nose with cedary oak, vanilla and red to darker berries on offer here. The palate has a very approachable feel with bright red-fruit flavors and an easygoing tannin style."

"All of the fruit for this wine comes from the Wahluke Slope. Slightly reductive aromas of gun smoke are followed by notes of graphite, black currant and green pepper. The palate is full of black fruit flavors with a firm but not unyielding sense of structure. The balance is impressive at this price."

"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and the rest Merlot and Malbec) offers purity and finesse, as well as notions of black currants, spring flowers, violets and underbrush. It is medium-bodied, nicely balanced and straight-up delicious. This cuvee is sourced mostly from the Wahluke Slope and is a smoking value!"
