2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

BLEND |90% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Syrah

VINEYARDS | The grapes hail from four sub-AVAs of Sonoma County - Knight’s Valley (40%), Moon Mountian (20%), Alexander Valley (20%) and Chalk Hill (20%). Combining varietals, elevations, aspects, climates, and soil types allows us to blend the components for a seamless composition..

WINEMAKING |In the cellar, hand-harvested and hand-sorted grapes undergo an extended cold soak followed by primary fermentation in stainless steel. Following primary fermentation, the wine is racked to French oak barrels (new, second-use, and neutral) for malolactic conversion and 16 months of aging. The barrel regimen is approximately 25% new oak, including Atelier, Sylvain, Taransaud, and Seguin Moreau cooperages.

TASTING NOTES |The wine showcases rich layers of dark blue and black fruits, creating a complex blend of savory and sweet flavors. There is an ever-so-subtle bittersweetness reminiscent of amaro, along with a slightly ferrous quality and hints of graphite. These elements complement the opulent fruit - think late-season blackberries - adding complexity, structure, and length to the wine.
