2023 Les Collines
Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Les Collines Cabernet Sauvignon is coiled and concentrated, loaded with dark berry extract and dark chocolate flavors framed by suave, muscular tannins. There’s terrific density to the texture and intriguing complexity to cigar box and violet aromas. This Cabernet is built to last and will gain depth and nuance over the next ten years and should hold for 20 years in the cellar.
This is our first vintage working with Les Collines Vineyard, situated at the windswept base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced from this rugged, but impeccably farmed site, is so different from the Cabernets we make from Bachus Block 10 in Pasco and Red Willow in Western Yakima. The Les Collines has power, concentration and density rivaling top Cabernets from California. Like all the Foolhardy wines, the Les Collines shows beautifully at the dinner table.
