    Winemaker Notes

    The fruit for our 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Scharf Vineyard in the famed Dry Creek Valley. This vineyard is a prime example of the quality of fruit produced in this appellation, well known for its hearty, full bodied red wines. The Scharf Vineyard fruit is characterized by forward flavors classic to the Cabernet varietal- rich layers of berries and black cherries intertwined with plum, cassis and spice. To preserve these characteristics as the fruit changes from juice to wine, Winemaker Michael Loykasek does gentle pumpovers several times daily during fermentation to fully extract color and flavor. Aging in French and American oak barrels adds the flavors inherent to each type- the soft vanilla and oak of the French barrels combining with the spicy textures of the American oak to create another level of depth to our Cabernet.

    For over 25 years brothers Steve and Bruce Cousins have crafted terroir-driven single-vineyard wines from some of Sonoma’s most iconic vineyards including Maple Vineyard, Gap’s Crown, Durell, Parmelee-Hill, and Castelli-Knight. Recently they’ve added Chalone Vineyards Chardonnay and Point Noir from this storied vineyard, the only one in the Chalone AVA at the base of an extinct volcano bordering the Pinnacles National Park. Armida also produces a number of unique offering including Domus Alba (their Sauvignon-Semillion homage to white Bordeaux), Tina’s Block Zinfandel (from an ancient block in Maple Vineyard planted in 1910) and POIZIN, “The Wine to Die For.”

    Working with Winemaker Brandon Lapides, Steve and Bruce strive to produce wines that express their provenance, the unique combination of flavors and texture from each different vineyard. The wine making approach is minimalist as the grapes are simply guided in a natural process (picking, fermentation, racking), remarkably unchanged in thousands of years, and resulting in intense, flavorful and complex wines.
