Beckstone is part of a new project from our friend Robert Larson in Washington. We love this Cabernet for being budget friendly and elegant. It?s the kind of wine you'll want to share with all your friends; who will think you paid a lot more money than you did. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the prestigious Wallula vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills.

Located in south-central Washington and part of the larger Columbia Valley, the Horse Heaven Hills AVA is a warm, windy region that is home to over a quarter of Washingtons planted acreage.

The appellation takes its name from an early pioneer who said upon seeing the region and its wide prairies and expanses, Surely this is Horse Heaven!

The area is among Washingtons warmer growing regions, making it an ideal place for Cabernet Sauvignon which makes up a large percentage of plantings. Many vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills are planted on south-facing slopes, providing for extended sun exposure.
