Tasting Notes: Focused, mouthwatering, and giving, this elegant Cabernet Sauvignon envelopes the palate with lush blue fruits and chocolate notes. Its lovely structure is marked by chalky, well-integrated tannins, excellent acidity, and significant length. A true cool-climate Cabernet, it is perfumed and delicious, with hints of dried herbs, flint, eucalyptus, and cassis.
Vineyard: Vine View Ranch - Yorkville Highlands AVA, Mendocino
Vine View Ranch is a gorgeous, high-elevation vineyard in the Yorkville Highlands. The organically farmed Cabernet Sauvignon vines perched at 1,500 ft. elevation thrive under the meticulous care of Vine View Ranch owner Courtney Lee.
Winemaking: Native yeast. Fermentation in small, open-top fermenters. Aged in once used French oak barrels for 15 months.
Vintage: 2022 was a mild, even growing season, and through late summer, it was a picture-perfect vintage. The dry-farmed nature of our vineyards and corresponding low yields allowed us to pick before the late-season heat and early rains, resulting in a stellar vintage for our wines.
