Tasting notes: Our flagship Estate Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with alluring aromas of bright red fruit with a hint of dark fruit and cherry cordial. Soft and approachable, this wine shows essences of sweet spices and cocoa that marry well with its bright acidity and evolving tannins. Following through with red licorice, muddled strawberry and a mouth-watering finish, it perfectly summarizes the diverse flavors found on our Rutherford Estate and Oakville vineyards. This Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to be enjoyed now and will age gracefully over time.
Vintage & viticulture: The 2019 rainy season was punctuated by a fairly large rain event in May which allowed vines to grow and develop with low to no irrigation. The growing season was long and, towards the end, very mild. We were allowed to pick when the fruit was ready without having our hands forced by extreme heat or rain. We are extremely pleased with the quality and character of the resulting 2019 wines with bright, tropical white varieties and red varieties demonstrating richly saturated red fruit notes such as ripe raspberry and dark cherry with soft supple tannins.
