PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Corliss Estates, owned by Michael and Lauri Corliss,  is dedicated to the craftsmanship of red wines that are pure expressions of variety and terroir, and the couple has achieved iconic status through meticulous viticultural practices, such as sustainable farming, rigorous fruit selection, and native yeast fermentation. Their second label, Secret Squirrel, is made in the Corliss signature style but is modestly priced. 

Today's wine embodies the couple's dedication to superior craftsmanship, and it shows from the first sip. Aged in French oak for 22 months, it has aromas of black cherries and tobacco. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, with ripe blackberries and black cherries laced with notes of cedar and sweet oak. These generous flavors are infused with bright acidity that gives the fruit characters youthful exuberance and impeccable balance.

Owen Bargreen/Washington Wine Blog: Rated 92 points
“Deeply concentrated and full of finesse, the outstanding 2017 Secret Squirrel Cabernet Sauvignon offers seriously good value under 30 bucks. Cassis, anise, and garrigue notes hit the palate, alongside shades of chocolate and coffee ground undercurrents. Full-bodied, give this beautiful wine an hour of air if consuming in its vibrant youth. Drink 2021-2031”
