Barrel notes are upfront, with aromas of vanilla, cocoa and spice followed by plum and cherry. A flavorful palate follows, intertwining fruit and barrel that stay together seamlessly through the finish.
Product Description:
"The debut release of our Bear Cub Red Wine
is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominate blend,
youthful and vibrant with bright, fresh fruit
aromas and flavors. Black cherry and cola,
with hints of vanilla bean and shaved cocoa,
fill the glass. Soft and lush on the mid-
palate, inviting dark fruit flavors, notably wild
blackberry, blueberry pie and cassis, linger
across a silky finish.
Generous layers of complex flavors are
achieved by sourcing grapes from eight
distinct vineyards, including sites located
in the Horse Heaven Hills, Wahluke Slope,
Red Mountain and Walla Walla Valley.
Handpicked Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
were sorted, gently fermented and aged in
tight grain French oak barrels with thick staves
to allow the fruit and oak to integrate slowly.
Syrah, aged in 600L Taransaud puncheons,
adds richness and depth to the mid-palate."
