Reds
Cabernet Sauvignon
A blend of the original “old block” planted in 1980, and newer block 17, it has some Petit Verdot added for color.
Winemaking
Aged 21 months in new oak barrels (80% French and 20% American).
Tasting Note
A garnet red wine with black fruit, cherry and chocolate aromas. It sings with ripe raspberry and chocolate covered cherry flavors and finishes with hint of spice and dusty tannins.
Pairing
Enjoy with a fatty cowboy Rib eye steak right off the grill or pasta with tomato sauce.
