Tasting Notes

Rich vibrant purple and red hues present in this wine. Cassis, black cherry and ripe black plumb combine with black pepper, and mocha with a hint of black olive. Flavors of juicy blackberry and cassis are encompassed with black licorice and a slightly toasted oak. This is a structured Cabernet with length, flavor and style. Enjoy!

Winemaking

2016 saw a near-perfect growing season. A warm spring jumpstarted bud break and an ideal June and July followed with moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights. August was cooler allowing for an even and steady growing season which encouraged the fruit to ripen uniformly under slow, steady conditions. Harvested by hand in the cool morning hours, the grapes were brought to the winery where they were hand and optical sorted. Warm fermentation temperatures along with gentle cap maceration helped achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on the skins.
