About This Item

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the concentrated depth of flavor and smoothness that 38-year-old vines can produce. From this small, select vineyard, these premium grapes were hand-harvested and cellared in French oak. Deep ruby in color, with aromas and flavors of black cherry, vanilla, baking spices, and blackberry, with hints of herbaceous green pepper and toasted oak. Full-bodied with medium tannins and a confident finish.

Double Gold. 98 Pts.~ Harvest Challenge

Winemaker Notes

Our vineyard has a classic varietal expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that makes a very elegant wine. This older block, planted almost 40 years ago, produces lower yields with more concentrated flavors each year. I used fermentation techniques and barrel programs to help integrate it into a smooth, balanced wine. Winemaker: Aimée Sunseri, Nichelini 5th generation
