Traditionally, historic Upland Vineyard contributes Cabernet Sauvignon to Wade Wolfe’s Geologist blend. Here, the unique qualities of fruit from a block planted in ancient Columbia River conglomerate deposits prompted Wolfe to devote a single barrel to produce a special wine, and it proved to be one of the top-ranked Platinums in our judging. Restrained use of oak focuses attention on the enduring current of dark cherry, blackberry and huckleberry. Smooth tannins are carried along by blueberry juice for an enduring finish.
