14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon

The 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, juicy red that features aromas of dark cherry, black currant, coffee, and subtle hints of spice. These flavors are complemented by a touch of spicy oak and emphasized by refined tannins.

Pair with tomato-basil bruschetta, eggplant parmesan, herb crusted prime rib, grilled beef steak, or hearty venison stew.

Grapes for this wine were sourced from vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, including the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit was de-stemmed and gently crushed to either upright stainless steel tanks or rotary fermenters. Crushed grapes were typically 'cold-soaked' for 24-48 hours then warmed and inoculated with a number of yeasts, including Mauriferm Plus, Prise de Mousse, Premier Cuvee, and ICV-D21 to initiate 7-10 day fermentations. Merlot and other varieties were blended in to build structure and complexity. Finally, the wine was aged for several months in a combination of American and French oak barrels to soften and round the blend.
