2022 Rainmaker Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of black cherry, blueberry, dark chocolate, exotic spices, toasted vanilla, and minerals leap from our 2022 Rainmaker Cabernet Sauvignon, opening an explosion of Girl Scout thin mints cookies, blackberry, roasted herbs, dark chocolate, all framed by firm, silky tannins. Muscular and dense now, this blockbuster will relax and develop with a little cellar time. A complex and remarkable wine!
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.
