WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This wine shows expressive aromatics of kirsch, red plum, and dried sage, accented by a delicate lift of geranium. On the palate, the wine delivers firm yet refined tannins that frame the dark fruit core, while the addition of Malbec to the blend lends a fresh juiciness and brightness to the mid-palate. Balanced and layered, this Cabernet offers both offers the structure you would expect from a North Coast Cab while maintaining a restraint that creates the flexibility to enjoy this on its own or pair with a meal.
76% Cabernet Sauvignon 24% Malbec
TASTING NOTES:
This North Coast Cabernet is sourced from Lake, Napa, and Sonoma counties, with a generous portion of Malbec that fills out the juicy profile. Ripe, grippy tannins are layered over dusty mineral underpinnings, while lovely herbal spice notes help keep everything in balance. It is a complete, savoury-driven wine with a juicy and inviting mid-palate.

Deeply perfumed with aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, violets, lavender and crushed stones. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and a lush, textural mouthfeel. Restrained, polished finish. Great value. Includes 24% malbec. Drink or hold.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
This fruit is sourced along the coast from pristine vineyards known for Cabernet Sauvignon. Expect, rich, concentrated aromas of dark berries, cocoa, espresso, dried bay leaf, and savory notes, wrapped in plush tannins and lengthy. Aerate and Enjoy.
