Wine Profile

Production Notes

Varietal Composition: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Malbec, 2% Syrah

Winemaker Notes

This expertly composed Cabernet Sauvignon reveals aromas of Bing cherry, plum and red tea leaf, complemented by subtle nuances of vanilla bean, clove and forest floor. Underlying mineral tones contribute complexity, with hints of brown spice and nutmeg adding layers of depth. The palate is a symphony of pomegranate, plum, tobacco and cedar oil, also boasting polished tannins and concluding with an impressively balanced finish.

Production

Beginning with an April snowstorm that delayed budbreak but caused no significant damage, the 2022 vintage was marked by its cool nature. While a cold, wet spring helped to saturate the soils, it also delayed flowering until mid-June. Midsummer was mild and temperate, with temperatures finally rising to 90º in late-June. Tannin formation was moderated, resulting in plush, rich textures. As harvest approached, we benefitted from an absurdly perfect stretch of warm, dry weather, with temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s throughout September and October providing extended hangtime and ideal conditions for achieving velvety tannins and great complexity.
