Winemakers Comments: The 1998 vintage was the sixth hottest in the 46 years that records have been kept in eastern Washington. This resulted in ultra ripe fruit with fully ripe soft tannins and full fruit expression. In spite of excellent grapes we still declassified 30% of the vintage into a red table wine in order to maximize the quality of our Cabernet.
