AC 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
The aromatics of this wine immediately greet you with earthy scents of dusty brambles and dried mint that combine elegantly with notes of bright fruit. This carries over to the palate in a lively combination of black cherries, raspberries, currants, and fig weaved harmoniously with exotic spices. Our 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts complex structure and an acute balance between fruit and acid.
—Jean-François Pellet, Winemaker
From beginning to end, this was a cool year. The Walla Walla Valley experienced no 100-degree days for the first time in well over a decade. Despite the cooler weather, our vineyards were still able to reach full ripening, with harvest occurring approximately three weeks late. The longer hang time led to layered, nuanced flavors with vibrancy and natural balance.
