Tasting notes
The 2022 Widowmaker wafts up with a savory edginess, mixing sage and rosemary with citrus-tinged blackberries and hints of menthol. It washes across the palate with juicy red and black fruits as hints of violet pastille and sweet spice add depth. A web of fine-grained tannins frames the finish as nuances of currant and graphite mineral tones slowly fade.

The 2022 The Widowmaker En Chamberlin Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyard lending great power and structure to the grapes, which is what makes it such a worthy standalone wine. (This vineyard was the first in Walla Walla Valley planted with rootstock resistant to phylloxera in 2000.) It’s lovely, with a grippy mouthfeel, restrained oak, and a rounded midpalate of elegant red fruit, dried herb, and cedar. Cellar through 2040.
