Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 7% Merlot and was aged 18 months in 50% new oak. Medium to deep ruby-purple, it has a mineral-driven nose of gravel dust, cassis, crushed black plum, bay leaf, soil and cocoa with notes of grilled beef, a classy framing of new oak spice and loads of red fruit accents. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich and plush with mineral and spice seamlessly woven into the fruit layers. It's framed by über ripe, pixelated tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and seamless. 2,300 cases produced.

This is sourced and designed according to soil type and comes from four parcels on the eastern side of the Alexander Valley, all on volcanic hillside sites. The mulberries and blackcurrants here are laced with raspberries and thereâs also cedar, leather and dark, spicy wood. The palate has a succulent, suave and supple feel with such lithe and juicy appeal. The richness and attractively fresh texture is stunning. 93% cabernet and 7% merlot. Drink or hold.
Similar colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 50% new French oak) offers slightly more graphite and crushed rock as well as rich black fruits, tobacco, cedar pencil, and earthy aromas and flavors. It's a rich, full-bodied, chewy wine that has good acidity, plenty of tannins, and an outstanding finish.
