2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Cote del Sol

Cabernet grapes for “Cote del Sol”, our reserve-level Cabernet, are hand-harvested from the south facing side of the vines only, which grow on a narrow, twenty-two row slope on our Valley View Vineyard. This Cabernet is then co-fermented with 8% Syrah from the same vineyard, which adds perfumed aromas of ripe cherries and blackberry, underscored by subtle earthy notes. Well-rounded tannins add a slight grip to lingering flavors of mountain fruits and baking spices.
