Tulpen 2017 Yellowbird Vineyard Dryland Cabernet Sauvignon

This unique Walla Walla Cab is dry-farmed in a vineyard adjacent to Leonetti's Mill Creek Upland. If there's a Rutherford dust equivalent in Washington this may be it. Feel free to put this in a blind tasting against Rutherford's best. The flavors are dense and seamless, textured and detailed. Black fruits and delicate touches of organic earth, coffee and dried herbs... lots and lots to contemplate here. This is a really special wine.

100 cases; 14.7%; $45 (Walla Walla)
