Winery Notes:

The second release from this beautiful place is the definition of mountain Cabernet – terroir driven, complex and lush. A bit more fruit forward than the 2008, it’s expansive with ripe layers of red and blue fruits, spice and brown sugar. Twenty months of barrel aging and extended time in bottle has given the substantial, fine-grained, mountain tannins ample time to integrate with the sleek minerals and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is fruit-driven and very long. Perhaps most important, at least to us, it stands as well on its own as it does alongside a family meal.
