Tasting Notes
Deep opaque violet in the glass with aromas of cassis, graphite and more delicate hints of spring blossoms. On the palate, exhibits varietal flavors of blackberry, cacao, and a bit of cedar. Richly layered tannins bring structural clarity to the fruit, framing a finish that combines with clean acidity to create the rare Cabernet that can be fully enjoyed by itself yet still pair beautifully at the dinner table.

Wine Story

Vineyard Notes
The 2022 Signature Cabernet comes from blocks 7 and 17 on our Estate Calcareous Vineyard. Block 7 is part of our original 2002 plantings and is our steepest, chalkiest, most southwest facing site planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. This fruit is noted for its rich, ripe fruit, soft tannin and bright acidity. Block 17 was planted in 2014 and is our most east facing block of Cabernet, giving it some cool climate character The fruit grown here always shows deep purple color, earthier fruit and age worthy tannic structure.
Production
The fruit was handpicked and cluster sorted before de-stemming. The uncrushed whole berries were then placed into new Ermitage French oak barrels with the heads removed. The fermentation took place inside the barrels, with mixing and punchdowns performed 3 times daily by the winemaker. Upon completion of primary fermentation, the barrels were temporarily sealed and the wine allowed to sit on the skins for a total of 39 days. The act of fermenting in barrel allows for 100% new oak to be used without the oak profile becoming a dominant feature. The grapes were then dug out by hand, gently pressed, and the wine racked back into the same barrels with the heads now replaced and aged for a total of 31 months.
