For only stretching 12 acres, our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard offers quite a variation in terroir. With the main block sloping both to the southwest and the northeast, our yields produce drastically different fruit. The smaller block has terraced rows that curve from the south to the east.

Review:

Aromas of bright raspberry, Amarena cherry, cocoa and mint mingle on the nose of this charming Cabernet. The palate is plush and ripe, giving spiced black cherry fruit with zippy acid that takes center stage before the plush tannins preside on the finish.
