2012 Père de Famille

Much has been written about the splendid 2012 vintage in Washington, even said to be one of the top five harvests in the past 40 years. These wines are a clear example of the pure, expressive, and generous fruit of the vintage.

The 2012 Père de Famille has the highest level (90%) of Cabernet Sauvignon that we’ve ever used in this wine. Add to that the high concentration of Red Mountain grapes (84%), deep and structured, and it yields a wine as generous as any Cabernet we’ve made. It’s weighty and yet balanced, fleshy yet fine-grained, powerful yet polished. Its dimension and precision indicate long aging ability, but you might be tempted far earlier.
