THE VINTAGE
The 2017 vintage will not be soon forgotten. The all-time precipitation record was set by mid-April as rain swept over the North Coast, filling all lakes, ponds and reservoirs. As the rain clouds subsided and the sun appeared, the vineyards in Sonoma County endured six different heat waves at or above 100˚F, including a memorable 110˚F on Labor Day. We harvested the fruit from September 18 - October 5 to make this beautiful Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
TASTING NOTES
Rich, lush and structured, the 2017 vintage displays intense aromas of black currant,
cassis and crushed violet. This wine is velvety with a smooth, lingering finish of herbal notes, vanilla and cocoa. Enjoy this wine now with a grilled porterhouse, rack of lamb,
or a winter vegetable roast or lay a few bottles down in your cellar to enjoy in 4 to 6 years.
