This collection includes six bottles of 2016 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon.

Characteristic of the appellation and 2016 vintage, this Cabernet offers aromas of blackberry, red plum and floral notes intermixed with touches of forest floor. The addition of Syrah leads to a full and rich texture on the mid-palate, further accented by bright minerality from the Petit Verdot, sweet red cherry from the Merlot and luscious blueberry notes supplied by the Malbec. The soft and supple mouthfeel is supported by the complexity of sweet oak tannins and a hint of anise, finishing with the juicy acidity that is characteristic of Horse Heaven Hills.

The 2016 Double Canyon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon expresses great depth and concentration of flavors, with a long, generous palate that opens up on the entry. Deep, dark garnet in the glass, aromas of red currant and coffee beans are joined alongside hints of polished leather, caramel cassis and pine. The palate has a bright entry, moderate tannins with pleasing length and complexity, and an elegant finish. The flavor profile is characteristic of our estate vineyard, displaying notes of cherries, red fruit, and rose hips.
