Winemaker Notes
The 1997 growing season offered near ideal conditions, with a slightly warmer than average growing season and long, mild fall. Our vineyard, located on a warm site along the Snake River, particularly benefited from this warm weather and produced extremely high quality red grapes in 1997. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from our estate vineyard on October 10 and 12. Lively nose with red currant, mint, and chocolate. The mouth is big and ripe, bursting with fruit and gently underlined by oak and spice. Our 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is very focused and layered, offering a nice toasty aftertaste.

The Gordon Brothers vineyards were established in 1980. They have planted a total of 95 acres, consisting of 25 acres of Chardonnay, 21 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 acres of Merlot, 15 acres of Syrah, 14 acres of Sauvignon Blanc, and one acre of Gewurztraminer. The vineyards lie on a perfectly oriented south-facing slope ranging from an elevation of 600 to 682 feet above sea level, on the Snake River just above Ice Harbor Dam and the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers in southeastern Washington. These mature vines are proving that the Gordon Brothers vineyard has a singular, superior micro-climate. Superb air drainage and all the favorable effects of river sites for grape growing are only two of the reasons that these are some of the most sought-after grapes and wines in the Northwest.
