Winemaker Notes

This wine has enticing aromas of earth, cigar box and ripe black olive; notes of toasted coconut integrate perfectly with generous yet firm dried black fruits. A silky mouth feel begins with ripe black fruits leading towards a chocolate-mocha finish that is exotic, generous and long. The wine offers firm structure yet shows beautiful proportion and style. While one could enjoy this wine now it will benefit from additional cellaring and should continue to develop for ten years or more with proper storage.

Professional Ratings

    Such beautiful purity of cassis and blueberries on the nose here. This has a rich array of ripe dark blackcurrants on the palate, spliced with cedary oak. Long and regal. Effortless balance, too. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot and 3% malbec. Drink or hold.
  • 91

    The fruit for this wine comes from the winery’s estate vineyard, established in 1976, with a microscopic 64 cases produced. The aromas provide immediate appeal, with notes of assorted fresh and dried herbs, cassis, vanilla, green pepper and black currant. The palate brings rich toffee, vanilla and cherry flavors that add a lightly grainy feel. The oak is primary at present, needing time to integrate

Woodward Canyon, Washington
Woodward Canyon Woodward Canyon Winery Winery Image
Woodward Canyon Winery, named for the canyon Rick’s family farmed and where the Estate Vineyard is now located, was established in 1981 by Rick Small and his wife, Darcey Fugman-Small. Woodward Canyon was the second winery in the Walla Walla Valley and the Smalls were instrumental in the process of obtaining federal approval of the Walla Walla Valley appellation.

The winery has consistently produced premium, age-worthy, award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots as well as Chardonnays. From the outset, Rick determined that quality would take precedence over quantity.

Consequently, Woodward Canyon has remained small. Woodward Canyon is located in Lowden in the Walla Walla Valley appellation. The tasting room is a restored 1870's farmhouse.

Woodward Canyon is a founding member of the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance and VINEA, the Walla Walla Valley Winegrowers' Sustainable Trust.

Image for Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon content section

Washington produces so many exciting wines, and that definitely includes Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With over 10,000 acres under vine, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely-grown varietal in the state. Terrific examples hail from sub-appellations like Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla Valley. One of the fascinations of these Columbia Valley Cabs is that they so often seem to have one foot in the New World and one in the Old. Representing the former are characteristics like the ripe, forward fruit that results from long sunny days during the growing season (up to two hours longer than in much of California). Old World similarities include an undeniable brightness from acidity, as well as notes of herbs, graphite and a dusty, sometimes gravelly minerality.

Whether you’re looking for a budget bottle for everyday enjoyment, or a stellar, world-class wine with tremendous aging potential, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines can deliver the goods! Among the many fine options are bottles from Columbia Crest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, L’ecole #41, Quilceda Creek and Leonetti.
