2021 Rainmaker Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 Rainmaker leads with aromas of black cherry, blueberry, cigar box, Asian spice, vanilla, and mineral leading to flavors of blackberry, roasted herbs, mint, cedar and mocha framed by fine, silky tannins. Elegant in its youth, this beauty will deepen and evolve with cellar time. Make it rain!
Food pairing: Roasted maitake shepherd’s pie or roasted beef tenderloin au poivre
Movie pairing: Rainman or Singin’ in the Rain, depending on your jam
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Rainmaker began life as a wine club offering in 2010. It has evolved to become our most fruit forward cabernet sauvignon, blended with malbec. The Yakima Valley is the source for all the fruit in this cuvée, most often it is from Olsen's extraordinary vineyards just west of Red Mountain. We named this wine Rainmaker during a conversation about what it means to be running a business with Chris's Dad. We poured the 93 point 2013 at Wine Spectator's New York Wine Experience in 2017. We were at a booth between Chateaux Margaux, Lynch Bages and Mouton Rothchild. We belonged there.
