Winemaker's Notes:

 Sourced exclusively from Klipsun Vineyard in the highly-regarded Red Mountain AVA. As with all Seven Hills' wines, grapes were hand-picked; harvest weather was very warm and yields were near average. Blended with 14% Merlot to lend softness.

Bottled in July 2006, after cellaring in French barrels. Will benefit from medium to long-term aging, gaining additional integration and flavor development over three to six years. From one of America's outstanding vineyards, this wine will be enjoyable for many years to come.

This is a full-bodied Cabernet offering aromas of ripe blackberry, piquant spices, briar and hints of cherry liqueur. By mouth, there is abundant bright red and black fruits, fig and graham over moderate tannins, trailing into a warm, persistent finish. A ripe vintage of moderate acidity, complex flavors and a very ageable structure.

About Seven Hills Winery:

 Seven Hills Winery was established in 1988 to vinify some of the nation's finest wine grapes: those grown in the Walla Walla Valley Appellation. In 1989 we moved to our current facility in Milton-Freewater, on the southern edge of the Appellation. Our winemaking process is a customized, hand-crafted approach that follows the grape from vineyard, through fermentation, aging and bottling, into the marketplace. Our central focus is dedication to providing a memorable wine drinking experience. Limited production may make our wine more difficult to find but always worth the search.
