2016 Quanta (66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cabernet Franc)
The Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of wines from Seven Hills West Vineyard in the Rocks district of Milton Freewater in the Walla Walla AVA, and Old Vine Cabernet from Kiona Vineyards in Red Mountain. The Cabernet Franc is also from Kiona's estate vinyard in Red Mountain. Aged 32 months in 100% new Frech oak barrels this wine shows a deep ruby color with pronounced aromas of black berries, casis, and black cherrry with hints of spice and a surprising floral aroma. On the palate the black and red berries are balanced by a bold acidity and soft tannins. The finish lingers and leaves you with black plums and notes of cocoa and coffee. Drink now or hold until 2040.
