Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County

Varietal composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Primary fermentation over a period of 12-14 days. It was then pressed and transferred to barrel where malolactic fermentation occurred naturally. Aged for 6 months in 40% new French oak—Taransaud, Sylvain & Nadalie barrels.

It plays nicely with California grass fed beef burgers, balsamic lamb shank or grilled beef short ribs.

Deep, purple-ruby in color with aromas of ripe fig, cassis, vanilla and hints of pine and peppercorn. A juicy entry on the mouth delivers plush, fine tannins with a velvety texture. This approachable, medium-bodied cabernet has densely layered flavors of dark plums with rustic notes of forest floor and spice. A finale of round tannins leads to a dry, smooth finish. 2019 - 90 Wine Enthusiast, 2021 - 92 Wine Enthusiast

Our vineyard selection is sourced from select vineyards throughout the county. We have focused on vineyards from Los Carneros and Alexander, Sonoma, Dry Creek and Knights Valleys where the growing season temperatures are warmer than the appellations closer to the coast. The hillside aspects are influenced by the Pacific Ocean resulting in cooler coastal nights, but warm to moderate daytime temperatures which is where cabernet sauvignon thrives.
