Featured Cadaretta Springboard Wines

2008 Springboard

Several of our limited production Cadaretta wines are named with timber industry terms. These names were selected as a salute to the heritage of the Anderson & Middleton families, who have been in Washington since 1898. Just as our winery is named for the lumber schooner Cadaretta, Springboard (our Bordeaux varietal selection), is named for a short length of plank that tree-fallers fit into the base of a tree – like a perch – to stand on as they cut.

2006 Springboard

The first 22 acres of our Southwind Estate vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley were planted in the summer of 2008. As we wait for those young vineyard blocks to produce fruit, we source grapes from select vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley AVAs.

We often discover grapes that inspire a particular blend in order to bring out the best of each individual; such is the case with Springboard.

2007 Springboard

The first 22 acres of our Southwind Estate vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley were planted in the summer of 2008. As we wait for those young vineyard blocks to mature, we source grapes from select vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley AVAs. The winemaking team works closely with each grape grower and our vineyard blocks to assure top quality fruit for Cadaretta.
