    2022 Swick Wines Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley, WA) 5R

    2022 Swick Wines Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley, WA) 5R

    The 2022 Cabernet aims to strike a balance between Old World and New World styles, incorporating some unorthodox techniques. Notably, whole cluster fermentation was used, creating a semi-carbonic environment that slows fermentation temperatures. Most Cabernet macerations in 2022 lasted around 60 days, with some extending 4-6 months. This extended skin maceration results in a wine that, counterintuitively, is lighter in color and offers a more elegant expression. This approach draws on experience gained from working with Nebbiolo in Barolo, Italy.
