The palate is greeted by vibrant fruit flavors, where blueberry, black cherry, and plum take center stage, courtesy of the Petite Sirah. The Cabernet Sauvignon lends a round mouthfeel and contributes firm tannins to the blend. Layers of mocha and vanilla add depth and complexity to this exquisite wine.

The Cabernet fruit came from our Estate Block 7 Vineyard. The deep, gravelly soils in this vineyard promote low to moderate vigor, encouraging the vines to produce rich, concentrated fruit. Water drains quickly in this soil which compels deep root growth for accessing water and nutrients found in the rich subsoils below. The Petite Sirah is from our Heritage Block 1 Vineyard with head-trained vines.
Minimal spring rainfall produced drought conditions thus impacting berry size and lowering the overall weight of the harvest. These small, more concentrated berries had ideal weather throughout the season producing an outstanding vintage full of bright fruit flavors and deep color.
