Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from select vineyards in Sonoma County, where warm daytime temperatures promote full ripening and concentration, while cool evening conditions help preserve natural acidity. This balance of heat and cooling influence supports Cabernet’s structure, depth, and fresh fruit expression.
Production Notes
1st Bottling
Winemaker Notes
We begin fermentation in glycol-jacketed stainless steel tanks, carefully managing temperature and performing twice-daily pumpovers. Following primary fermentation, the wine completes malolactic conversion in French oak. Three rackings ensure clarity and integration before further French oak aging. The Sonoma blend
is then crafted from a rigorous barrel selection, selecting only the best.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with smoked brisket with chipotle BBQ sauce. The wine’s firm tannins and dark fruit complement the smoky richness of the meant, while its balanced acidity lifts the spicy-sweet BBQ flavors.
