Winemaker Notes

Is it the even years, or is it just the way the planets line up? The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon is another example of how the even years and Canoe Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon go hand-in-hand. This varietal loves warmth and 1998 delivered just that. It also gave us hangtime, something winemakers were talking about long before Michael Jordan made it famous. It gives the fruit a chance to achieve sugar and flavor maturity on the vine. This made our job of barrel selecting really easy. As with previous vintages, we aged this in 100% French oak barrels, of which 80% were new and the balance were one year old.

I recommend enjoying the 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon with just about anything but bok choy. Risotto with chanterelles, ox tail stew or lightly smoked pork tenderloin would be great. I promised the buffalo I saw while vineyard sampling this harvest that I wouldn't recommend buffalo. However, I am thinking beefalo would be a nice complement, and if you must, buffalo mozzarella would add to any meal.

Maybe it has to do with the bovine theme, but Willie Nelson's new "Milk Cow Blues" strikes a cord with me. A couple of other interesting CDs are Shawn Mullins "Beneath the Velvet Sun" and Mark Knopfler's new "Sailing to Philadelphia." -John Abbott, Winemaker

Canoe Ridge, Washington
Canoe Ridge Hayden Mouat - Winemaker Winery Image

Canoe Ridge Vineyard is one of Washington State’s most recognized wineries, with its namesake vineyard established in 1989 in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Varieties are focused on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The name comes from a ridge by the vineyard located along the mid-Columbia River, neat the town of Paterson. The famed explorers Lewis and Clark named this crest of land as they journeyed down Columbia River in 1805. From the river, the adventurers thought the ridge resembled an overturned canoe. The Walla-Walla based winery marked its 20th anniversary in 2014.  

Bone-dry deserts, upriver winds from the Columbia River and long sunny days make the perfect conditions for growing wine grapes in the Horse Heaven Hills. Fine tannins and deep concentrates fruit flavors are characteristics that put our region on the map- synonymous with some of the most acclaimed wines in the Northwest.
