The Character

Tasting Notes Bold and savory with pronounced aromas and flavors of ripe black fruits and dark cherry, layered with graphite, the signature Rocks District savory earth, and subtle floral and herbal notes. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is juicy, plush, and generous with a gentle tannin structure, creating a harmonious and complex blend.

The Story

The 2023 Requiem is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Malbec, harvested from the first to the third week of October from the Rocks District in Milton-Freewater AVA. This unique AVA is defined less by geographical boundaries than by its topography and soil (dark-colored basalt cobblestones). It is situated on an alluvial fan of the Walla Walla River, where the river exits the foothills of the Blue Mountains and enters the Walla Walla Valley. Crossing state lines, the AVA lies within Oregon and includes part of the town of Milton-Freewater. The area within the Rocks District also lies within the Walla Walla Valley AVA, which is entirely within the larger Columbia Valley AVA.

About Requiem

Producer Story

Our work in Oregon with AVERÆN put Washington State on our radar, big time. We've been hungry for a good Cabernet project that speaks to the quality of what we’ve historically made in Napa Valley, but at an irresistible price point. Finding the right fruit has taken several years, but we’re thrilled to have uncovered a true gem in our newest project, REQUIEM Wines. Our inaugural release comes from a blend of four parcels from some of the top vineyards in the Columbia Valley and we are fortunate to have teamed up with some top-notch partners at an amazing boutique winery in Walla Walla to occupy a corner of their winery.
