Nose

The aroma is evocative of huckleberry saltwater taffy, with equal emphasis on fruit and floral.

Palate

This Cabernet exhibits a notable mid-palate with a dense, compact structure.

Growing Conditions

The 2008 marks a moment in the vineyard’s development when the more mature vines contributed a riper tannin structure and silkier mouthfeel; it was a turning point toward the characteristic expression of the Palmaz Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sold out.

Bottling

Bottled April 2010.

Aging

Aged for 18 months in 85% new French oak.

Food Pairing

The wine’s plush, gentle tannins allow it to shine with little support from a meal around it. This vintage pairs nicely with dark chocolate truffles and begs to steal the show as a stand-alone performance.
