Tasting Notes: With flavors of cassis, plum, dried herbs, and graphite, the wine envelops the palate with dense tannins and bright acidity. It is a mouthwatering and lifted expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects its cool-climate origins. This wine's excellent natural acidity will make it a great food wine and the ideal accompaniment to rich dishes.
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. Unfined and unfiltered.
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.
