92pts Wine Enthusiast

Blackberry, blueberry and plum aromas burst from the glass of this Cab, while the palate brings spicier flavors of pencil shavings, black pepper, cinnamon and anise. This is delicious and hearty stuff with plenty of tannin and balanced acid for aging. Drink 2028-2040.

Winemaker Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon is full of black fruit flavors with hints of cassis, clove, dusty soil, and anise. The tannins are supportive and integrated showing a silky character that finishes with just a touch of acidity, making this Cabernet an elegant food paring wine.

The goal in making this Cabernet Sauvignon was to make it powerful yet graceful, food-friendly yet great on its own, and most importantly, balanced. After harvesting the grapes, we sorted them and gently destemmed them without crushing or bruising the fruit. We cold soak the grapes for 3-5 days and let fermentation begin naturally using the native yeast that comes in on the grapes from the vineyard.
