Nose
You are immediately struck by aromas of wild blackberry, dark Bing cherry, ripe purple plums, cassis, vanilla mocha, and cedar.
Palate
The wine is full bodied and luscious on the palate with fully integrated tannins, well balanced acidity, and a round mouth-feel. Its flavors mirror its aromas and envelop the palate with more tastes of dark chocolate, clove and spice through a long, lush and memorable finish.
Growing Conditions
Our 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested from the Caton Vineyard located behind the quaint town of
Sonoma on the slopes of the Mayacamas mountain range, having a southerly exposure about 900 feet above the valley floor.
Harvest
The grapes were picked at full maturity and optimal ripeness in order to take advantage of their deep, rich varietal flavors.
Appearance
The dark red garnet color in the glass gives a hint to the wine’s intensity and structural depth.
Food Pairing
This wine is a fine accompaniment to hearty pasta, roasts and juicy steaks.
