Winemaker Notes
On the nose, this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon shows plush dark fruits, black cherry and cassis, with hints of thyme, sage and baking spices. The wines dense dark fruit, full of blackberry and blueberry, marries with light herbal tones and intriguing notes of leather, cinnamon spice, and clove. Silky tannins compliment the rich fruit creating a velvety texture that carries through to the wines’ full finish.

Bold and full-bodied but also polished, this wine is packed with black cherry and blackberry accented by cocoa and espresso notes, all wrapped in a velvety layer of fine-grained tannins. It checks all the boxes for a high-end California Cabernet. Best through 2029.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
A large and diverse appellation within California’s North Coast AVA, Mendocino is home to several smaller sub-regions—most notably the Anderson Valley. This scenic region, with rolling hills covered in redwood forests as well as vineyards, is one of the world’s top producers of certified organically-grown grapes. Due to wide geographical and climatic variation, a vast array of wine styles can be found here.
