The La Bestia Cabernet Sauvignon from Lachini Vineyards is a bold, structured wine that showcases the power and intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Washington State’s Red Mountain AVA. Named La Bestia - Italian for “the beast” - the wine reflects its muscular character, built primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, often complemented by small amounts of Cabernet Franc and, in some vintages, Malbec to enhance complexity.

The fruit comes from renowned Red Mountain sites such as Quintessence, Red Willow, and Boushey, known for their warm climate, low yields, and mineral-rich soils. Aromatically, the wine opens with concentrated notes of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, and dark plum, layered with hints of graphite, cocoa, dried herbs, and subtle tobacco.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, with firm, ripe tannins and a strong mineral backbone that provides structure and aging potential. Oak is present but controlled, adding spice and depth without obscuring fruit purity.

The finish is long, powerful, and persistent, underscoring the wine’s name and intent. La Bestia is designed for cellaring and pairs naturally with grilled steaks, lamb, and richly flavored meat dishes, standing as Lachini’s most assertive expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
