Winemaker Notes
Density is the order of the day, blue, red, black is the color. The structure is serious given what fills it. Grilled meat, Dried herbs, cigar box, black cherries, ribbon of minerality and a sense of place that could only be this wine. This is no BS. It is BX!
Blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 27% Cabernet Franc.
Critical Acclaim
JD98Jeb Dunnuck
Lastly, the 2015 Klein BX Vineyard Collection checks in as a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Deep purple-colored, with a thrilling bouquet of crème de cassis, toasted spice, graphite, and dried tobacco, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building yet sweet tannins, flawless balance, and a finish that goes on for over a minute. This is a tour de force in Bordeaux blends from Washington State that I wish every reader could taste. It’s already accessible, with a sexy, flamboyant personality, yet it’s going to keep for two decades given its balance and purity.

This has a forest-like nose with bracken, leaves, red berries, juniper and herbs, all interwoven. The palate has a sleek, graphite-like edge and dark berries are cast in forthright, muscular and intense tannins that hold uncompromising on the finish. A field blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Try from 2022.
