Varietal Composition: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot

Winemaker Notes

This vibrant and alluring Cabernet Sauvignon offers tantalizing aromas of berry compote, wild strawberry, black licorice and fennel, with hints of sagebrush and desert air mingling with ethereal floral layers. On the palate fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a dynamic structure frame the generous red berry and spice flavors, while carrying the wine to a long, resonant finish.

Production

Heavy winter snowfall in 2019 led to well-irrigated soils and a late budbreak. The relatively cool weather continued throughout spring and summer with temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s, and only a few days over 100º F. This allowed for beautiful flavor development balanced by ideal acid retention, producing elegant and age-worthy wines with lovely energy and character, supple tannins and bright, juicy flavors.
