Palate
A juicy red blend with fresh red berry flavors. A touch of earthiness and spice. Ready to enjoy now. Age worthy 8+ years from vintage date.
Growing Conditions
a classic Old World style Cabernet Sauvignon with firm structure that has roots in the terroir, made with minimal manipulation. Following the heritage that Pietro represents to our family, our Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in the great soils of the classic, historic California Cabernet Sauvignon growing regions: Napa Valley and Lake Country, resulting in a North Coast designation. We brought back an old world tradition of blending a little Syrah into our wine as was historically done in Bordeaux.
The vintage year of 2010 had a cooler growing season resulting in approachable, elegant wine with a firm structure, reminiscent of a Bordeaux vintage.
Winemaking
Pietro took vine cuttings from neighboring vineyards to start his winery. The result was a field blend of red varietals. We followed that tradition to create a complex red wine.
Aging

Food Pairing
