JOSH'S NOTES - 2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
It seems like yesterday that we were knee-deep, quite literally, in the 2019 harvest. Dark ruby in the glass, it opens up aromatically in the same fashion. Dark fruits like blackberry and Bing Cherry, followed up by graphite, wood shavings, and baking spice. Ultra-balanced with long, fine-tannins and great acidity. The finish on this wine is incredible - which is something that I love about great Cabernet. Drink now through the next 15-20 years.

JOSH'S NOTES - 2020 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
We have been loving this wine; the progression has been stunning and gets better every year. Dark fruit with hints of blackberry cobbler, graphite, and sandalwood. Mostly grown on warmer sites of the Walla Walla Valley including our estate, Bob Healy Vineyard. Beautiful tannins that are lush and have a strong core that broadens out last minute to an ultra-long finish. A really pleasing and luxurious wine. Drink now through the next 15 years!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2021 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
This wine has been on fire and 2021 is a stunning vintage. Perfectly ripe plums, blackberry, and memories of walking through a native sagebrush field in Walla Walla on a warm fall day. Rich and concentrated from the warmth of the vintage, this wine has fine grained tannin that builds and evolves, has red fruit, subtle hints of graphite and charcoal from great French oak and Italian concrete, and lasts for a long time. Enjoy this new vintage now through the next twenty years!
