WINE REGION:
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

TASTING NOTES:
Dried Herbs
Redcurrant
Raspberry
The herbaceous nose of our Cabernet Sauvignon presents aromas of dried violet, lilac and rosemary. The palate is more fruit-focused, with ripe raspberry and redcurrant flavors amidst subtle acidity and sturdy tannins. The finish balances the fruit with oak for a richly complex experience.
