2021 Cedar + Salmon Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills
92 Points, Tasting Panel Magazine
Tasting Notes
Cedar + Salmon Celebrates the artistic spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Sourced from family vineyards nestled under the canopy of ancient forests, our wines are lush and mysterious, brimming with flavorful harmony. Gracing our labels are woodcut prints of cedar and ash trees that evoke the sylvan beauty of the region and the ancient march of time.
Sourced from high, rolling hills, this vintage was born out of a heat wave, cooling just in time for harvest. Aged in 15% new French and 15% new American oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon (with 8% Malbec and 7% Merlot) shows concentrated power. With tobacco-washed blackberry, espresso, and Italian herbs, it is well built, with sturdy tannins. Dark chocolate and bacon fat enter midway with a toasted cedar finish.
Winemaker Notes
A cool spring followed by a record-shattering heat event in late June led to a small but strong 2021 vintage. Cooler temperatures in September and October allowed for grapes to hang longer on the vine. Flavor maturity was achieved before sugar ripeness, elevating the wine’s natural acidity. After the grapes were harvested, sorted, and fermented, the wine was then aged in 15% new French and 15% new American oak until bottling.
Food Pairings
This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect pairing for soft truffle brie, a savory mushroom tart, moussaka, rosemary braised lamb shanks, or a slow-cooker beef stew.
