After 17 years of producing Cabernet, this 2014 vintage is not only the first Merlot we have offered but is also the first wine made with grapes grown from a mountain region up 2000 feet. As a result, this wine shows firm mountain tannins and much complexity. There is a density not typical to all Merlots as well as powerful blackberry-currant flavors.
This wine is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that will not leave you wanting…except for maybe a second glass! Notes of dark berries, Asian spice and a touch of cocoa on the nose. A very balanced blend with lush tannins and a silky finish that tastes of chocolate covered blueberries. The softness of the Merlot and pepper from the Cabernet Franc aide in the overall complexity of this blend. Will cellar for 12 to 15 years.
Fantastic progression from ripe rich boysenberry and vanilla on the nose, to a beautiful fullness and dark cherry on the palate, then to a quintessential cabernet finish with silky tannins. This 100% Cabernet is made from grapes grown in our small, family owned vineyard located on the St. Helena bench. This wine will easily cellar for 12-15 years but is ready to drink now. Enjoy!
This wine is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that will not leave you wanting…except for maybe a second glass! Powerful girth and texture with deep aromas of black cherry developing into hints of mint and licorice. Undercurrents of black pepper ending with a lingering complexity.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc rounds out this fruit-forward wine. The savory nose shows hints of pepper and spice followed by a luxurious texture. On the mid-palate it exhibits cherry, Oreo cookie, milk chocolate and a hint of candied fruit. The foundational Cabernet vineyard is located on the western hilltop slope of Rutherford. Available in both 750ml format and 1.5L sizes.
