Larry Pearson traversed Washington State in search of the perfect site to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. One night’s slumber on the dry, hot grassland of Red Mountain, and he knew he’d found Cab paradise.

DropCap Larry Pearson harbors something of an obsession with Cabernet Sauvignon. He has lived and worked in remote corners of the world (Australia, Tanzania, Bosnia, for example), first as a math and science teacher, and later as an engineer.

And always he has been drawn to Red Mountain in Washington State.
