2023 Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley
Regular price $18.98
Brisk and bright, this wine is a vivid expression of Washington’s untamed beauty. Aromas of wild strawberry, Rainier cherry and ripe plum rise from the glass, layered with hints of baking spice and rustic earth. On the palate, a dynamic rush of pomegranate and raspberry unfolds, balanced by the depth of candied fig and juicy plum. A perfect palate weight carries the wine to a lovely, enduring finish.
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 4% Malbec 2% Syrah
The Columbia Valley is one of the world’s most unique and diverse wine regions, grapes have been grown in the Columbia Valley since the early 1900s. The valley stretches from the Okanagan National Forest in the north all the way to Dalles, Oregon in the south, with the majority of the appellation located on the Columbia River Plateau. To the west, the beautiful Cascade Mountains serve as a natural barrier to the Pacific Ocean, creating a dry, desert-like climate, with warm sunny days, cool nights and an average rainfall, of just 6 to 8 inches annually.
Located between the 46th and 47th parallels, where Bordeaux and Burgundy are also situated, the region is marked by its distinctive soils. Though it is acclaimed for a number of grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted grape in the region—and rightfully so. Grown in the valley’s arid, sun-kissed climate, Cabernet develops beautiful depth and complexity, with velvety tannins, alluring aromas, and lush berry flavors.
Shipping Policy
- Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
- You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
- During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
- We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
- Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
- Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
- Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
