The Barrel Select Cab is made entirely from Hillside Vineyard fruit (located on the Oregon side of the Columbia Valley AVA). The vineyard has stunning views of mighty Mt. Hood and the Columbia River. It is fairly steeply sloped and it is home to a number of different grape varieties—in fact, cab may not even be its best one!

The 2007 Barrel Select Cab is a plushly textured mix of berries, tobacco, mocha and eucalyptus. It makes a fine foil for braises and grilled meats, and is surprisingly chocolate friendly, too. It's drinking wonderfully now, but will certainly evolve over the next 10 years.
