Organic: All fruit is organically grown in our estate vineyard.
With the 2007 vintage of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, we wanted to focus on the dominate character of Cabernet
Sauvignon while adding complexity from its kindred spirits of Franc and Merlot. The blend speaks for itself in the
purity of the classic aromas and flavors the wine displays. The result is an elegant wine of a pedigree that will please
for years to come.
91 points "With its dryness and firm tannins, there’s lots of structural integrity in this Cab. New oak adds the right suggestions of toast and wood spices. It’s an elegantly
streamlined wine whose nuanced berry, cherry and currant flavors won’t
overwhelm a beautiful cut of beef. " Editor’s Choice – Wine Enthusiast
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - "Medium-dark ruby, fragrant, spicy, currant
and blackberry fruit aromas; Medium-full to body, tight tight, spicy, current
and berry fruit flavors, medium-full to full tannin" – California Grapevine
