Yakima Valley's high-desert climate offers the warmth to ripen grapes fully while retaining freshness and acidity through cool evenings. Meek Vineyard, in particular, delivers a refined structure and dark fruit purity that elevates the red wine grape to its highest potential. Learn more about other Cabernet Sauvignons here.
The 2023 growing season featured a mild winter and ideal ripening conditions, resulting in concentrated berries with rich tannins and balanced acids. This vintage brings the complexity that fans of Ghost Block, Rasa Vineyards, and Darioush Caravan crave, with notes of black currant, graphite, and toasted sandalwood.
