 The "Old Vines" Cabernet originally started as the 'Dedication Series' with the start of the winery in 1981. The label features a pioneer of the Walla Walla Valley and the wine is now sourced primarily from Champoux Vineyard, which is home to some of the oldest cabernet blocks in the state of Washington. This is a heavier-bodied cabernet and will typically age well, with proper cellar conditions, 15+ years from vintage.
Here are some recommendations for drinking or holding the Dedication / "Old Vines" Cabernet. These suggestions are meant to serve as a guide. Woodward Canyon cannot guarantee the drinkability of individual bottles as factors outside of the winery's control (including storage and temperature issues) may impact the wine.
