Two notable history lessons could be taught with this wine. The first being how the elevation of Snipes Mountain was just high enough to preserve its geological record during the Missoula Floods which marked the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. The second being the story of Ben Snipes, the Northwest Cattle King. Chasing gold up the Oregon Trail, Snipes arrived in Yakima Valley in the 1850s and saw the potential for raising cattle, and would eventually build an empire of 125,000 heads of cattle. K Vintners Cattle King (which also includes some Upland Vineyard juice from Walla Walla) has been on a run lately, receiving 99, 98, & 99 points for their 2012, 2013, & 2014, respectively, from Jeb Dunnuck. This brings the ruckus. It’s like eating a blueberry BLT while going 100 mph in a 15 passenger van and listening to Queens of the Stone Age in Juárez. — 9 years ago

Wow, has this wine evolved brilliantly since we had it in their Walla Walla Tasting Room.

The name Sixto, if I remember correctly, is a guitarist that Charles has great fondness.

The nose is ripe & vibrant. Loads of green & golden apple, Meyer lemon, overripe pineapple, lime candy, mixture of lighter tropical fruits, salted caramel, butterscotch, graham cracker, crème, light butter notes, vanillin, honeysuckle, white spice, herbal quality, beautiful volcanic minerals, spring flowers, yellow lilies and fruit blossoms.

The body is rich, round & thick. It sings on the palate. Loads of green & golden apple, Meyer lemon, overripe pineapple, lime candy, caramelized pear, mixture of lighter tropical fruits, stone fruits, salted caramel, crème, light butter notes, vanillin, honeysuckle, beeswax, honeycomb, marmalade, butterscotch as it warms & opens, some brown sugar/molasses, white spice with some palate heat, herbal quality, limestone/sandstone, soft but, a good presence of woodiness, beautiful volcanic minerals, spring flowers, yellow lilies, mixed greens and fruit blossoms. The acidity is round and near perfect. The long finish is; rich, ripe, lush, well balanced fruit & earth with layered textures and persists endlessly. Beautifully, complex Chardonnay that is drinking at its peak with some good years ahead @ under $30 when I purchased it.

Vineyard notes...Frenchman Hills was planted in 1998 and is about a 30-minute drive north of the Wahluke Slope, which is one of the warmest areas in the Columbia Valley. However, the Frenchman Hills Vineyard is a cooler site, partly because of its higher elevation at 1650 feet. It also does not easily frost. The limestone and broken basalt soils at the top of the vineyard were not affected by the Missoula Flood that ravaged much of Eastern Washington some 12,000 years ago. Because of the slightly cooler aspect, grapes hang longer without accumulating excessive sugar and still managing to retain beautiful acidity.

From pepperbridge vineyard all Missoula flood sediment soils mostly CS 33 mr 7 Malbec 4 cf a very complex array of mint dark coco black cherry cassis and a good hand of earth on the nose. A very balanced and fresh wine with a ton of that muance and spice from the nose through the finish this wine needs some time like 2011 a cold classic year! Finish 60+. Most excellent — 12 years ago

On the palate; spice infused fruits of; blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, blue fruits & strawberries. Crushed minerals, dry stones, violets & dark red florals, black cherry cola, mouthwatering acidity and rich, long, polished finished. The label shows the huge rocks that are all over the region brought in by the Missoula flood.
