2018 Hiyu Aedín, Columbia Valley Red
$121.00
Nate on this wine: “This is a 1.5-acre parcel based on an heirloom clone of Cabernet Sauvignon that came from Chateau Margaux in the 1800’s. Like Feis, Aedin also includes other grapes from Southwestern France, but Cabernet is dominant here. The shoots struggle to reach the top of the wire and the vines produce small clusters with thick skins. This is a rare example of Cabernet fermented with whole clusters and even rarer in that it spent 50 days on the skins prior to pressing. This sets the stage for a wine that is both paradoxical and profound.”
