Our Cabernet Sauvignon is special to us as it was the first wine we ever made, in 2013. It started a tradition of "finding our mountain," and set the precedent for greatness in all things we produce. The 2018 vintage is special as we are finally aging the Cab in French oak, rather than American oak. This change in barrel really enhances the elegance and beauty of our Cabernet!

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Ripe dark berry fruit make way to soft vanilla nuances from oak aging; Classic currant flavors and some smokiness are present, but it is not too herbaceous. This wine is full-bodied, with approachable tannins.
Production Notes
We co-fermented our Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to round out the edges. The blend was aged in new American oak barrels for 20 months.
Food Pairing Notes
Lamb with rosemary; beef with balsamic sauce; chocolate desserts; bold cheese.
