The 2017 Foolhardy Cabernet Sauvignon is built to last, with a core of ripe, intense fruit and dark chocolate framed by subtle, spicy oak. Violet and red raspberry aromas give way to supple, textured flavors of blackberry and Bing cherries, with mineral tones offering an intriguing counterpoint in a lingering finish.

The heart of this wine comes from two older vine Cabernet blocks at Red Willow and Elephant Mountain vineyards, located in cooler sites in western Yakima Valley. This compelling blend represents the best Cabernet Foolhardy could craft from the excellent 2017 vintage.

The wine gains texture and generosity with air, so open at least an hour before pouring and, if possible, decant. This wine is just hitting its stride and will continue to gain weight and dimension so drink now or cellar with confidence for the next 12 to 15 years.
