Va Piano Rosebud Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Walla Walla Valley Washington
After a hot, tumultuous 2015 that produced some great wine, 2016 was a return to a more normal vintage. The growing season was a bit cooler and allowed us to hang the grapes a little longer to achieve perfectly ripeness without sacrificing any character. Everything started pretty perfectly in the spring and continued through, giving us our largest crop to date. Despite the increased yields, the long season allowed us to take in grapes that produced wine with incredible depth and grace. Fall rains held out until the very end, as we were taking in the last of our grapes, so we were mostly unaffected by any weather event this year. The result isimmediate drink-ability in all of our wines, but the wine in the bottle will continue to mature for as long as your patience can hold out.
