Cataclysm Wine Co.
The Columbia Valley was carved by cataclysmic ice age floods that tore across the Pacific Northwest, transforming the landscape, and blanketing the valleys with silt carried from hundreds of miles away. Cataclysm pays homage to these forces that continue to shape and reshape the earth beneath our feet.
2019 Cataclysm Cabernet Sauvignon
Showcasing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest region, this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with earthy minerality balanced with concentrated dark fruit. Aromas of bramble berries, deep plum and cherry mingle with rich tobacco and herbs. Flavors of currant and cherry explode on the palate mixed with pencil lead, vanilla and spice. This is a robust Cabernet with all the hallmarks of a complex Washington State wine.

2019 Cataclysm Red Blend
Inspired by the bold brilliance of traditional Bordeaux blends, the Cataclysm Red Blend puts a little chaos in the mix with robust Syrah. Aromas of chocolate, fig, stewed cherries and blackberries mix with vanilla and cassis. Marionberry and blueberry envelop the palate with hints of the dusty soils of Eastern Washington. This is a deeply structured blend with a velvety mouthfeel that lingers with toasty oak and spice well after the last sip.

2020 Cataclysm Chardonnay
Just as new growth bursts from ancient soils, this Chardonnay erupts from the glass wafting aromas of quince, Bosc pears and crème brulée. Viscous and lingering, the palate has a silky entrance with bright and playful acidity. Flavors of Washington’s famous apples, melon, vanilla and spice play on the taste buds. This is an example of a beautifully versatile grape treated with gentle handling and a touch of oak that will leave an impression.
