Joe Hattrup’s remarkable site above the Yakima Valley has been featured as a vineyard-designated wine for eight recent Platinum winners by Maryhill winemaker Richard Batchelor. And for Cab, this is the second time in three years. The 21 months in 85% new French oak helps build enticing aromas of Mexican molé spices to go along with a dark black fruit core, fennel and a finish of black pepper.
