Tasting Notes:

Beautifully integrated aromas of cassis and dark chocolate lift from the glass.

Upon entry the fruit explodes fulfilling the promise of the inky black color.

Tannins, silky but powerful, layers of cassis, dark chocolate with racy black cherry and fresh-from-the-oven wild blackberry pie precede sweet French oak.

The finish is long, beginning in the glass and ending with one of California’s highest elevation vineyards.

Tasting Notes:

Elevation Matters.

At 2,400 feet above the valley floor, Cabernet Sauvignon takes on a distinctive Bordeaux character.

The wine’s fruit opens slowly in perfect sync with a fine meal or related conversation.

Patience rewards with layers of red and black currants that warm like the rich, deep, soul-shaking strokes of a bow on a cello.

Racy staccato spice and French horn vanilla compete to dominate the finish.

The symphony elevates toward the last movement, lingering in memory beyond time.

Tasting Notes:

Hues of blue and purple going into red are reflected in the soil and the fruit.

The last light of the day prismatically expands into layers of color and fruit, which are revealed in this wine, moving from aroma to finish uninterrupted.

The wine is a blessing to be paired with foods that, dare I say, contain fat.

This wine dances with marbled beef, cream and stinky cheeses.
