More about the 2022 KLIPSUN KLIPSUN VINEYARD RED MOUNTAIN RED From the sunbaked slopes of Red Mountain, the Klipsun 2022 Red Blend emerges with quiet force and unmistakable pedigree. Sourced from one of Washington State’s most prized vineyards, this blend reflects the intense conditions of its origin—scarce rainfall, volcanic soils, and a fierce diurnal swing that carves structure into every cluster. The vintage was marked by warm days and cool harvest nights, allowing for slow, even ripening and fruit of remarkable depth and balance. It's a wine born from one of the most rigorous terroirs in the Pacific Northwest, shaped by elemental extremes and human precision. The blend is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides the framework of dark fruit, graphite, and finely woven tannins. Merlot brings a supple, polished texture, while Malbec and Petit Verdot deepen the aromatic range with flickers of violet, black tea, and wild herbs. Aged in French oak, the wine gains further complexity—subtle cedar, baking spice, and roasted espresso notes integrate seamlessly with its concentrated core. Every component is carefully assembled, each varietal selected not only for its individual strength but for how it elevates the ensemble. The result is seamless yet commanding—a portrait of Red Mountain’s power rendered in fine-grained detail. On the palate, the 2022 Klipsun Red Blend is both broad and lifted, offering a cascade of black cherry, plum, and cassis layered with dusty earth and warm mineral tones. There’s a refined muscularity here—nothing overbuilt, but firm and enduring, like basalt shaped by time. As it evolves in the glass, it reveals a quiet confidence: a wine crafted not for flash, but for depth, clarity, and longevity. It’s the kind of red that speaks to collectors and enthusiasts alike—resolutely Washington, unmistakably Red Mountain, and unmistakably Klipsun.
