Canoe Ridge The Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Inspired by explorers Lewis & Clark, who, during their 1805 exploration, thought the ridge above the Columbia River resembled an overturned canoe. They'd argue the best exploration of all is discovering the Horse Heaven Hill's delicious quality in every bottle of Canoe Ridge. Spiced floral aromas lead to layered juicy flavors of red currant and smoky plum, with a deep, velvety finish.

Canoe Ridge Vineyard's estate vineyard, uniquely sited at a broad section of the Columbia River in eastern Washington, produces grapes of uncommon quality. The vast river moderates temperatures, prolonging the grapes' time on the vines during summer days, which are longer at this northern latitude, while protecting the vines from hard freezes in the winter. Sheltering ridges limit wind damage and hold warmth around the vines.
