Description
// Cabernet Sauvignon 82%, Petite Sirah 6%, Petit Verdot 5%, Malbec 2%, Cabernet Franc + Merlot, + Tannat 5%
"Our goal is to make a very approachable and unpretentious expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. During harvest we bring the fruit into the winery destem and ferment on the skins for 14 days, to achieve a nice gentle extraction without too much tannin. The juice is pressed off and fermented in a combination of French and American oak to achieve softness. We source our grapes from the warmer areas of California primarily Mendocino County, Northern Sonoma County, Paso Robles, and Santa Barbara County to achieve a ripe expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with soft tannins and eliminating any green components. The palate is filled with ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, subtle clove and dried herbs with soft but structured tannins." - Winemaker Notes
