Actor Kyle MacLachlan grew up in Yakima, Washington. His serious interest in wine was sparked when director David Lynch gifted him a bottle of Château Lynch-Bages for landing the part of Paul Atreides in Dune. With his father (a keen gardener and tender of fruit trees) they discovered the wines from Eastern Washington and eventually embarked on a collaboration with Eric Dunham, winemaker in Walla Walla, Columbia Valley. They now produce Bordeaux inspired wines using grapes and oak barrels of uncompromising quality.
Crafted from a growing season characterized by low yields and intensely colored grapes, the 2021 Bear Cub is a cheeky charmer strutting fresh, vibrant avors and an easy-drinking,
approachable style. Generous notes of wild blueberry and dark plum leap from the glass. On the palate, rich flavors of lush cassis and succulent plum mingle seamlessly with hints of
mocha and subtle undercurrents of spicy oak. The mouthfeel is smooth and welcoming, supported by silky, flavorful tannins and a long, lively finish.
Dark, high-toned fruit from the Walla Walla Valley forms the base of this 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot. Ageing 100% French oak, 30% new for
30 months.
