88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, & Cabernet Franc

"This wine bursts with flavors of boysenberry and blueberry extract, backed by a rich layer of dark chocolate. The fruit feels plush and inviting, balanced by compact tannins that give it just the right amount of structure. Smooth, flavorful, and indulgent, it finishes with an effortless elegance that keeps you coming back for another sip." -Winery Notes

VINEYARDS | The grapes hail from four sub-AVAs of Sonoma County - Dry Creek Valley (40%), Alexander Valley (30%), Moon Mountain (20%), and Knights Valley (10%). Combining varietals, elevations, aspects, climates, and soil types allows us to blend the components for a seamless composition.

WINEMAKING |In the cellar, hand-harvested and hand-sorted grapes undergo an extended cold soak followed by primary fermentation in stainless steel. Following primary fermentation, the wine is racked to French oak barrels (new, second-use, and neutral) for malolactic conversion and 16 months of aging. The barrel regimen is approximately 30% new oak, including Atelier, Sylvain, Taransaud, and Seguin Moreau cooperages

“Classic cabernet aromas of graphite, violets and purple fruit are pleasing in good-value wine. The palate is plush and balanced, with richness, opulence and sweet, ripe with the tannins and acid structure to balance it. The finish is clean. Medium- to full-bodied. Drink or hold.” -James Suckling
