Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot
Our beautiful Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our most popular and award-winning wines. These grapes grow on the hillside banks of the dry Estrella Riverbed, where there is a cooler and longer growing season. Complex nuances of red and black fruit with mellowed tannins. Lush full mouthfeel and gorgeous, silky, long finish. Very food- friendly wine - also wonderful as a wine to sip and enjoy with some great friends and conversation!
Includes 2 special hand-picked rows, and selected well aged barrels add to its complexity.
Bottled July 3, 2024.....intense,complex, and one of Serena's favorites. Only 71 cases
Food Pairings: fine steak or creamy pasta with wild mushrooms, aged Havarti cheese.
These grapes, growing steps away from the winery, were hand picked early in the harvest. The vintage was wetter & cooler, even into the spring. A large canopy protected these larger sized tight clustered grapes from sunburn. Note the amaretto cherry flavor, contrasting dried herbal notes and clay minerality. Only 94 cases with an alcohol of 15.1% - a big wine.
