Patent law attorney Larris Harris nurtures a 6-acre vineyard of Pinot Noir at his estate near Stanwood, but he’s also developed a fondness for Cabernet Sauvignon. That explains his attraction to historic Klipsun, a 120-acre vineyard planted in 1982, and he uses this coveted Red Mountain site to produce a classic Cab. Its baseline is one of steady notes that hit on cassis, black cherry, light toast and sage for a centered and complete wine. “This is what I want in a Cab,” declared a judge. And it serves as an attraction for the Harris family’s young satellite tasting gallery in Woodinville’s upscale Woodin Creek development. Qualifying award: Bellingham NW (gold)
