Winemakers Notes
Winemaker: Matt Check, Head Winemaker
Winemaker's Notes: La Bête is another way of showing the world how amazing the Carménère grape is and in this program we showcase it by coupling it with the most popular red variety for the American market, Cabernet Sauvignon. Both grapes exude power and intensity but dance so beautifully together to show an awesome contrast bold intensity with a graceful and elegant finish.

Special Notes About Region and Varietal
A robust blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Horse Heaven Hills AVA of Washington State and 40% Carmenére from Pontin del Roza Vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA, WA.
The Cabernet Sauvignon exudes blackberry, black cherry, and dark fruit flavors from the warmer climate and longer growing season of Horse Heaven Hills, plum and cassis from the sandy loam soil structure, complimented by herbal and mint notes lent by the pronounced diurnal swing.
The warm days and cool nights of the Yakima Valley help the Carmenére develop rich fruit flavors while maintaining a critical acid profile. The microclimate of the Pontin del Roza vineyard enhances Carmenére’s signature notes of green bell pepper skins, cloves and hints of spice.
