The Story
The 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon starts out with fresh red and dark fruit aromas pomegranate and wild blackberry with notes of graphite and bay laurel undertones. As the wine opens in the glass, deep fruit flavors of plum skin and cranberry alongside bright cocoa dance on the palate. The mouthfeel is rich and inviting, framed with fine grain tannins, that support the fresh and vibrant finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Made from the producer's estate Monument Ridge, blocks that rise from 400 to 2,400 feet, this balanced, elegant wine is refined and savory, with classic structure. Crushed rock, mountain sage, pine and dusty tannin support a core of juicy currant and cassis.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended with 1.5% Petit Verdot and matured for 20 months in 35% new oak. It's bursting with gregarious blackcurrant, blueberry, mint chocolate and lilac plus touches of cigar ash, licorice and coffee beans. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet despite its deep core of perfumed fruit, with a frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity that calls you in for another sip. This is wonderfully easy to drink despite offering plenty of complexity.
