Introduction:
The 2022 Lone Birch Cabernet Sauvignon from Yakima Valley is a bold yet approachable red that highlights the balance of ripe fruit, structure, and freshness that Washington State Cabernets are known for. Estate-grown and sustainably farmed, this wine delivers deep flavors, smooth tannins, and a well-integrated finish, making it a great everyday Cabernet with versatility.

Terrior:
Sourced from the family-owned Airfield Estates vineyard in Yakima Valley, this wine benefits from the region’s warm days and cool nights, which help preserve acidity and structure while allowing full ripening. The well-drained sandy loam soils add to the wine’s depth and complexity.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with violet reflections, indicating youth and vibrancy.

Nose:
Expressive and fruit-forward, with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and cassis, accented by hints of cedar, vanilla, and subtle baking spices. A touch of dried herbs and cocoa adds depth.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a plush texture. Ripe black fruit flavors dominate, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of black pepper. Balanced acidity and smooth, velvety tannins make this wine easy to drink while still offering good structure.

Finish:
Long and polished, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak sweetness.

Overall Impression:
A well-balanced and fruit-driven Yakima Valley Cabernet that delivers richness without being overly heavy. This wine is perfect for casual sipping or pairing with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now or over the next 3–5 years.
