100% estate-grown singlevineyard Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the winery’s Dollarhide Ranch. The property is known for its steep rolling hills—reaching upwards of 1,100 feet—as well as some flatlands and seven lakes rife with wildlife. Aged for 20 months in 100% French oak (54% new), the wine offers a broad and generous mouthfeel with chewy tannins. The fruit is ripe and almost gobby, becoming more streamlined as it opens up. Dark berries are lush and sweet with hints of brown sugar. Acidity and chalky lift are well defined and have the mouth imploring for that next sip. Refined, elegant, polished, and poised.

Lots of ripe fruit with blackberries and blueberries, as well as fresh herbs, tobacco and cedar. It’s full-bodied, layered and flavorful. A little tight and tannic at the end. Give it two or three years in the bottle to come together. Try after 2022.

Brambly, dried herbs, chocolate aromas. Opulent ripe blackberry fruit framed by fresh acidity and ripe, fine-grained tannins. Rich and fresh. Blend : 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot
