Notes & Flavors
Our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were crushed before a warm fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Varieties and vineyard lots were fermented separately to allow their signature characteristics to emerge before blending. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel and was aged without the lees for 12 months on 100 percent French oak with a medium toast level; forty percent of the barrels were new.
Petite Sirah, Merlot and Syrah add a touch of color, texture and spice to this Cabernet Sauvignon-focused blend. A brilliant dark ruby hue hints at the wine’s powerful aromas and flavors of blueberry, blackcurrant and plum, layered over rich notes of leather, tobacco and graphite. This well-structured, medium-bodied Cabernet delivers elegant tannins, pleasing acidity and a lingering finish.
