Echolands Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Yellow Bird Vineyard 2021 Walla Walla Valley – We’re never certain which particular lots are going to jump out at us, but this one did. Bigger, but not in a heavy or ponderous way, the plushness of Mill Creek area wines is evident. We had already purchased land on the ridges above Yellow Bird so we were attentive to the place and what differentiates its wines. The Merlot added more velvet to the texture; it seemed a more complete expression of Yellowbird – and what we hope is a reflection of the wines we will soon be offering from those hills above Mill Creek as well.
