The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat is 100% varietal from Mach One Vineyard, Clone 685 grapes, a rarity for the region. Dominant in purple fruit and lavender, it has tremendous tension, beautiful aromatics, and a fine-tuned sense of precision and polish, just seamless nose to tail. Unctuous, luxurious, and dialed in at 1,325 cases, it’s richly powerful but so pleasurable to drink in its youth; I can only imagine how much more decadent it will become over the next 20-25 years.
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
Country
United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Region
Washington State
Since it began in the 1820s, wine-production in Washington state has gone from strength to strength, with many of the finest United States wines coming out over the past twenty years hailing from this region. Today, the state is the second largest US producer of wines, behind California, with over forty thousand acres under vine. The state itself is split into two distinct wine regions, separated by the Cascade Range, which casts an important rain shadow over much of the area. As such, the vast majority of vines are grown and cultivated in the dry, arid desert-like area in the eastern half of the state, with the western half producing less than one percent of the state's wines where it is considerably wetter. Washington state is famed for producing many of the most accessible wines of the country, with Merlot and Chardonnay varietal grapes leading the way, and much experimentation with other varietals characterizing the state's produce in the twenty-first century.
Appellation
Columbia Valley
Columbia Valley, a prominent wine appellation in Washington State, USA, stands out for its diverse and expansive viticultural landscape.

Winery Notes
Rated 100 - The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Palengat’ is a single vineyard and single clone wine from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Violets and creosote with wet rock and wild blackberry compote mark the nose. The palate is plush with serious concentration and underlying finesse. Silky tannins line this stunning wine that is going to age so gracefully. The balance here is world-class. Enjoy over the next two decades. Drink 2026-2045 - Owen Bargreen

This full-bodied, complex and sophisticated red has wonderfully fragrant aromas of pine cones, cloves, blueberries, black plums, rosemary, hot stones and black tea leaves. So polished and deep, with creamy and ripe tannins that spread across the palate. Beautiful. Very long. Clone 685 from the Mach One vineyard. Try from 2028.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Clone 685 comes from the Mach One Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. It has inviting aromas of blueberry, boysenberry and thyme and exotic, spicy undertones. The full-bodied palate is more open at this stage with pure, detailed flavors that unfurl continuously as the wine spends time in the glass. It’s framed by luxurious, powdery tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a very long, layered finish. 1,325 cases were made.

Shavings of cedar and pine give way to dried roses, gravel dust and crushed blackberries as the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat slowly unfolds in the glass. Cool-toned yet fleshy in feel, it sweeps across the palate with an array of ripe red and blue berries underscored by tactile minerals and sour citrus, as the finest tannins imaginable slowly collect toward the close. While structured, there's a lift and gracefulness to the 2022 that keeps the experience remarkably fresh, as it finishes with a pleasant bitter tinge and hints of Cocoa.
