Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Woodward Canyon Artist Series began in 1992 with the intent to showcase the finest cabernet sauvignon in Washington State and has since become our flagship wine. The vineyards used in the Artist Series are among the oldest and most highly regarded in the state, typical vine age is around 35 years old. The label changes every year with work from a different West Coast artist. Dr. Owen Bargreen met with Owner, Rick Small and Winemaker, Kevin Mott for a comprehensive vertical tasting of the Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon lineup starting with the 1992 vintage.

Current Artist: Mary Crane Nutter 

2022 ARTIST SERIES #31, "Trinity at Daybreak”, 32” x 36”, Acrylic on Wood, Mary Crane Nutter, Walla Walla, WA. Originally from Idaho Mary has lived in Walla Walla for 8 years with her husband and is a mother of two young daughters. She studied at the Art Institute of Seattle and has been an artist for 17 years. Mary worked as an interior designer and was especially drawn to textiles. That early inspiration is a common thread in her work. The textures and depth she creates through sanding elements and building up acrylic mediums offer a tactile reality to her art. The grid, a fundamental basis for her compositions, juxtaposes with her flattened reductionist style, where colors exist side by side rather than shaded. Her work invites you to step into a dream, an alternative view, or a vacation that you can visit anytime. http://www.mcraneart.com/, @mcraneart
