Cabernet Sauvignon
G3 is a tribute to the three generations of the Monson family to have farmed in the Columbia Valley for more than a century.
Tasting Notes
Our 2022 G3 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with vibrant and expressive aromas of wild blackberry, huckleberry, and a dusting of cocoa, layered with subtle herbal undertones. The palate is dense and concentrated, showcasing juicy dark berries, ripe plum, and a touch of hoisin over a foundation of rich earthiness. The texture is marked by chewy, supple tannins intertwined with hints of toasty oak and sweet barrel spice. The finish is bright, clean, and persistent, echoing flavors of blackberry and plum with a refreshing lift.
Vineyards
100% Columbia Valley, Estate-Grown Fruit. The fruit for this wine was sourced from some of the premier upper blocks of the estate.
Goose Ridge Estate Winery is certified by Sustainable WA, a 3rd party sustainability program for Washington grape growers. Sustainable WA is a framework of best management practices that focus on the three pillars of sustainability; environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability. Goose Ridge was one of the first to gain the certification.
Winemaking
The wine was pumped over twice daily until a balance of color, structure, and flavor extraction had been achieved. Malolactic fermentation on oak smoothed and softened the wine. The wine matured for 16 months in barrels (with 25% new oak). Merlot was carefully blended to add depth, softness, and layers of nuance to the wine.
