Nxnw - North By Northwest Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2013

The 2013 vintage is comprised of fruit from several different vineyards, predominately Wallula, Les Collines, Alder Ridge and Heather Hill. The addition of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot contributed to the blend’s full body and firm tannins.North by Northwest represents wines made from inland grape growing appellations of the Columbia River Basin of Oregon and Washington. The NxNW winemakers have developed strong, creative relationships with growers and fellow winemakers in the Columbia River Appellation and throughout the northwest viticultural region - leading to this richly textured wine. NxNW is a unique lens for capturing the essence of terroir, the character of the people, and the quality of the wines from this great emerging winegrowing region.
