2024 Vineyard Selection Cabernet
Aged 18 months in barrel, this Cabernet was crafted using a thoughtful oak program of 25% new American oak, 25% second-fill American oak, and 15% French oak, with the balance in neutral barrels. This approach adds layers of vanilla, spice, and structure while allowing the vineyard character and vibrant fruit to remain the focus.
Tasting Notes
Layered and expressive, this Vineyard Selection Cabernet opens with aromas of plum, candied cassis, and forest floor accented by sage, green peppercorn, vanilla, and cedar. Medium tannins and a medium-full body frame the palate, while juicy acidity carries the wine through a long, balanced finish.
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with aged cheddar, miso shiitake soup, bleu cheeseburgers, cheesy meatloaf, and filet mignon with rich balsamic glaze. The wines savory herbs, dark fruit, and balanced acidity complement umami-driven dishes and rich, hearty flavors.
