Palate
This is an elegantly structured Cabernet with lush flavors of dark fruit and graphite. Soft tannins and notes of spicy oak merge with a touch of cocoa powder on the lengthy finish.
Growing Conditions
The fruit for this robust Cabernet Sauvignon comes from one of Sonoma’s newest AVAs - the Moon Mountain District of Sonoma County, a region striking for its high elevation vineyards and rugged, volcanic soil. Rising from 400 to 2200 feet on the western side of the Mayacamas, the Moon Mountain District has thin, fast-draining soil and hot, dry summer days, ideal conditions to grow deeply colored grapes with intense, concentrated flavors.
Bottling
Bottled August 2016.
Aging
20 months 100% French Oak.
