Tasting notes:
Our single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the boldness of the mountain where it is grown and is a true expression of our site. The deep ruby red color, velvety structure, and ripe flavor profile are elegant and palate-friendly. Powerful aromas and flavors of vanilla bean, black currant, cedar, spearmint, and a hint of clove carry across the palate from start to finish.

Fermentation and processing:
Grapes, harvested late into the season and picked at almost freezing temperature, ensure fruit entered the cellar cool and ripe. The wine was pumped over twice daily for two to three weeks during fermentation in 40hL oak vats. Oak fermentation provides oxygen for the yeast to promote a healthy fermentation and helps early integration of oak tannins to round out the mouthfeel. To express the varietal character of our Cabernet Sauvignon, we chose to use 100% free-run wine.

Food pairing:
Bleu cheese, portobello mushrooms, dry-aged ribeye, steak au poivre.
