The Cabernet Sauvignon pushed its first leaves overnight — two days ahead of what my notebook says. continental high desert, hot days and sharp cold nights is running warm. I'll take it, cautiously.

Winemaker
The grower here farms Cabernet Sauvignon on windblown loess over ancient cobblestone in 'the rocks' district in Walla Walla Valley. Their name is withheld on the public listing and shared with the Crew on enrollment — what you can judge now is the place, the live data feed, and the samples across the season.
The history.
These vines sit on windblown loess over ancient cobblestone in 'the rocks' district at 250–450 m. The estate has farmed Walla Walla, Washington for generations; we kept the old blocks and rebuilt the cellar around gravity.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Rain when we wanted it, then it dried out. The vines are carrying a fair crop; I'll likely drop fruit at veraison to keep the rest honest.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Old methods, watched closely. Windblown loess over ancient cobblestone in 'The Rocks' district. I trust the fruit and I trust the place — the rest is restraint.

Dug soil pits across the old block. You can watch the windblown loess over ancient cobblestone in 'the rocks' district change with every shovel — it's why no two rows here taste the same.
