Winemaking notes
The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (77 %), Barbera (8 %), Petite Sirah (6 %), Petite Verdot (4 %) and Malbec (4 %); percentages slightly differ from each vintage. Individual lots of grapes are sourced from each vineyard are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and pumped over gently each day. The lots were then integrated into a final blend that was aged for 12 months in a combination of new and used French and American oak.
Viticultural notes
Grapes are sourced from premier vineyards in the Central Coast appellation. Through careful selection of vineyards that offer a variety of soils, root-stocks, clonal material, and slopes we are able to create a beautiful wine that highlights the unique microclimate of each site.
Tasting notes
The wine draws you in through the inviting aromatics of dark cherry and vanilla notes. The evolving flavors on the palate of dark fruits, such blackberry, are met by a rich lusciousness that hits on the middle of the palate.
Pairing notes
Pairs wonderfully with filet mignon, roasted potatoes and pasta bolognese.
