Here is the stunning new 2018 Cabernet by Five Miles East.

Five Miles East

November 6, 2023

Today we introduce a new brand by Dunham Cellars. Five Miles East is a tribute to the Kenny Hill Vineyard which is located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The wine is made by Rob Campesi who has been at the Dunham helm for many years now. This is a special wine for wine club members only.

Kenny Hill Vineyard was founded by Ken Hart who manages many vineyards and makes incredible wines for his Tulpen Cellars. This site is a sloped, south-facing 70-acre estate vineyard was purchased in the summer of 2008 as a joint venture between Dunham Cellars and long-time viticulturalists and good friends, Bill and Andy Den Hoed. It is located 5 miles east of Dunham Cellars up the Mill Creek drainage in the Blue Mountain foothills at an elevation of 1450 feet. The precipitation, elevation, slope and naturally occurring breezes at this site provide a rare low incidence of frost. Prior to the purchase of this property, Dunham’s sister company Appellation Management Group planted Yellow Bird Vineyard, a dryland vineyard on the east side of Kenny Hill. After two years of careful observation, the success of Yellow Bird prompted Dunham to buy the adjacent property now known as Kenny Hill. The new wine comes from the 2018 vintage. The 2018 Five Miles East Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 95) is a silky and refined Cabernet from this great vintage. Learn more at dunhamcellars.com and here is key review of the 2019 Five Miles East Cabernet Sauvignon.

2018 Five Miles East Cabernet Sauvignon- Coming from the Kenny Hill Vineyard, this beautiful 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon shows fantastic poise and richness from this outstanding vintage. The nose is seductive with black florals alongside Earl Grey tea, mocha and tar notes alongside dark currants. The palate is fresh and lively with a smooth texture and great sense of length. Everything is in clockwork balance here. Drinking really well now, consume over the next ten plus years to come. Drink 2023-2038- 95
