Merf Cabernet Sauvignon, 750 ml
Warm temperatures continued through the spring and summer, moderating slightly into fall and extending an early harvest
Sourced from vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley in Eastern Washington including Mattawa Vineyards, Jones Fruit, Shaw Vineyards, Cold Creek Vineyard, and Zirkle
A northerly latitude gives the Columbia Valley roughly two more hours of sunlight daily during the peak-growing season than California, increasing the region's ability to ripen fruit
Ripe grapes were destemmed and inoculated with various strains of yeast to maximize complexity
Gentle pump overs during fermentation were used to extract color and flavor and produce soft, supple tannins
