Requiem
Requiem produces wine in Washington's Columbia Valley, a region defined by its high-elevation vineyards and dramatic temperature swings that concentrate fruit flavors in cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon draws on the valley's signature profile: structured tannins, dark fruit, and the mineral precision that comes from the region's volcanic soils. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have both assessed the winery's releases, with the Cabernet earning particular recognition for its balance and depth. Columbia Valley's continental climate—warm days, cool nights—allows extended hang time that builds complexity without sacrificing acidity, a hallmark of serious Cabernet from this corner of the Pacific Northwest.
