Nose
Bright herbal notes and cedar.
Palate
This vintage has concentrated flavors of mint with finely-grained tannins. Expressive, mountain-bred fruit flavors of crushed berry, cassis and plum. Focused, herb-tinged Cabernet with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Growing Conditions
Small berries mean big fruit - a trademark of mountain-grown grapes. This vineyard, with perhaps the southernmost vines in the Mt. Veeder AVA, produces a focused, herb-tinged Cabernet with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. The hillside location of this vineyard is ideal for Cabernet, as it sits above the fog line, enjoying warmer days and cooler nights.
Appearance
Deep and dark in color.
