Description:
Grown on a mesa-topped vineyard with a unique terroir, our grapes were carefully selected during the hand harvest to achieve the richness and balance associated with our Cabernet Sauvignon. We farm the vineyard with an objective of limiting production to 2 to 3 tons per acre in order to produce grapes of unusual concentration, purity of flavor and vibrancy.
Typically luscious with an elegant tannin structure our Cabernet
Sauvignon is full-bodied and ready to drink now, yet promising great aging potential. Tones of ripe cherries, sweet raspberries and earth lead into a wine packed with rich caramel and tobacco nuances.This wine is superbly balanced, refined and long on the finish.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
