Magnificent Wine Company
House Wine
Columbia Valley  (Washington State)

The Estate
The Magnificent Wine Company sources its grapes from only the (most) magnificent vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley which provides the freedom to tailor grape selection exactly to Charles Smith' winemaking needs ensuring that each bottle of wine is equally Magnificent from vintage to vintage.

The Region
Washington’s success with vinifera grapes is due in large measure to the state’s unique geography. The vineyards are planted on the east side of the Cascade Mountains which serve to protect the region from marine weather off the Pacific coast and limit rainfall to just 6 - 8 inches annually. Low rainfall and free-draining soils allow vineyard managers to control vine vigor in order to promote flavor development in the grapes. Warm daytime temperatures ripen fruit to perfection. Cool autumn nights protect the grapes’ natural acidity. Creating wines with perfect balance and flavors.

2007 Steak House, Cabernet Sauvignon  12/750ml
The 2007 growing season in the Columbia Valley presented a year of extremes in weather. The spring was wet and cooler than normal leading into a long, hot summer. Summer provided ideal conditions of dry weather, warm days and cool nights. Harvest began early, with some white grapes picked in late August. A cooler period in Mid-September slowed things down and allowed more hang time for enhanced flavor development. 
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
If cab is king, this one should wear a crown. Big, fleshy black cherries followed by toasty
oak - BOLD! One sip of this Cabernet will have you out in the back 40 shooting yourself a steak.

“Smooth and round, with a lovely open feel to the cherry, currant and loamy earth flavors, lingering on the fine-grained finish. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2012.”
