Spring Barrel Weekend: The Cabernet Showdown

The Cabernet Showdown: Red Mountain vs. Horse Heaven Hills

Two Barrels. Two Terroirs. One Commemorative Glass.

At Thurston Wolfe, we believe Spring Barrel Weekend should be a complete experience. While many wineries have moved to a “Bring Your Own Glass” format, we’re keeping the tradition alive.

Your $25 tasting fee includes a limited-edition commemorative Spring Barrel glass for the first 250 guests. These glasses are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to plan your visit early to ensure you take home this year’s edition.

The Experience: A Terroir Showdown

Go behind the scenes for an exclusive head-to-head exploration of Washington’s most iconic AVAs. We’ve hand-selected two exceptional, evolving Cabernet Sauvignons pulled directly from the barrel:

• The Powerhouse (Red Mountain): Known for intense heat and rocky soils, this barrel offers bold structure, concentrated dark fruit, and firm tannins.

• The Elegant (Horse Heaven Hills): Shaped by persistent winds and deep silt-loam, this selection showcases refined acidity, vibrant red fruit, and a signature silky finish.

Taste the contrast, cast your vote, and help us crown the winner of the vintage.

The Full Flight

The journey continues beyond the barrel. Your tasting includes a curated flight of four additional award-winning wines from our current collection, showcasing the diversity and craftsmanship of the Thurston Wolfe portfolio.

Event Highlights:

• The Glass: Limited-edition commemorative glass included for the first 250 guests.

• The Flight: 6 wines total (2 Barrel Samples + 4 Portfolio Pours).

• The Cost: $25 Tasting Fee.
