Vineyard Notes
Elephant Mountain Vineyards, owned by Joe Hattrup, are situated on a unique site located high on the southern slopes of the Rattlesnake Ridge at the base of Elephant Mountain, near the center of the new Rattlesnake Hills Appellation in the greater Yakima Valley Appellation.
The vineyard sits on a series of gentle, southern-facing slopes at elevations from 1320 to 1460 ft. The vineyard is located above the irrigated portion of the Yakima Valley and is surrounded by dry land shrub steppe. The vineyard has a unique micro climate, perfect for growing and maturing wine grapes.
Winemaker Notes
Located at about a 1,400 ft. elevation, Elephant Mountain has a unique micro-climate that offers an extended growing season, which in turn allows for extra hang time and desirable fruit maturation. This ripening on the vine is critical for Cabernet Sauvignon to develop ripe fruit, viscosity, and tannin structure; components of this reserve wine.” - Kendall Mix, Winemaker
