The first release of this wine, 80% sourced from Heart of the Hill Vineyard. There’s a very plush and rich feel to this with attractive purple fruit that’s delivered in supple and approachable mode. Holds the finish well. Really impressive. 98% cabernet sauvignon and 2% syrah. Drink or hold. 3,000 cases made.

With 2% Syrah blended in, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain features classic black fruit aromas that are rich and lush, with nots of soft oak spices and purple flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the Cabernet is youthfully tight and rigid in the mouth, with grippy, structured tannins and a complex, mineral-driven tension, showing exceptional quality. The finish is dusty, with a composed yet tight complexity that will age beautifully over the next decade. 3,051 cases were made.
