A wonderful wet winter with more than 60 inches of rain gave our vines a healthy start to the growing season. A mild summer (with a few exceotions in June and early July) made it the ideal growing season. Phenolic ripeness was on par with sugar accumulation.

Reminiscent of an Old World Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine leads with aromas of violets and cassis. The aromatic elegance translates to the palate with a balanced brightness of ripe red fruits, figs, currants, and a persistent minerality of graphite that is the common thread of our Estate wines. Drink now thru 2032.
