Expressive dark fruit, graphite and cigar box aromas. Pure, rich and fresh palate of ripe blackberries, chalk-like minerality, earth and pops of mint and thyme. Fine-grained tannins and tangy blood orange-like acidity persist to a cocoa-dusted finish. Made by winemaker David Tate, formerly of Ridge Vineyards.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District bursts with vivacious cassis, wild blueberries and black raspberries scents plus touches of underbrush, pencil lead, violets and espresso. Full-bodied, tightly wound and supported by fine-grained tannins, the palate is beautifully pure, with a long fruity finish.
