Januik 2022 Weinbau Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Concentrated and well-structured on the palate with tremendous amounts of black fruit, red currant, and dark chocolate flavors. It is highly perfumed with expressive notes of cassis, raspberries, and black cherry. It’s long finish and supple texture bodes well for a long life in the cellar.
Weinbau Vineyard is located on the Wahluke Slope near Mattawa. The vineyard is one of the oldest in the area and is known for its particularly fine silty loam soils.This talcum powder-like soil provides good drainage and heat retention. Thanks in part to its location at the eastern portion of the Wahluke Slope, the vineyard experiences more moderate temperatures that help create longer hang time and ideal ripening conditions.
