WINERY T A S T I N G N O T E S The 2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful expression of the potential of Cabernet Sauvignon on our vineyard, showcasing a variety of soil types and clonal selections across the entire 115-acre property. The beautiful, deep, and vibrant violet-ruby color in the glass hints at the richness and depth of this Cabernet Sauvignon. When first opened, aromas of violets, mocha, and dark blue fruits envelop the nose. With time, the wine continues to evolve, as the bramble berry notes expand and make way for exotic spices and vanilla. These flavors are balanced by notes of juniper, cedar, and winter pine forest.
