This 100% estate-grown Cabernet carries some of the identifying aromas of the Rocks, a part of Walla Walla where vineyards are planted on a dry river bed. Hints of earth, clay and chocolate make a lively introduction to a wine loaded with cherry and currant fruit flavors. The wine spent 20 months in French oak, but the barrel scents and flavors are handled lightly; the fruit is the star of this show. A fine debut.

Excellent varietal character, along with the lightly funky aromas associated with the vineyard’s location in the Rocks (a sub-section of the Walla Walla Valley AVA), elevate this first release from Riverhaven Cellars. Along with blackberry fruit come cinnamon, mocha, coffee grounds and clean earth, well integrated into a rich and textural wine with good length and body.
