About This Wine


Gilded Letter

Cabernet Sauvignon

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Some Sonoma County winemakers refer to 2020 as “the vintage of the decade.” This is because, like us, they know extreme conditions create exceptionally concentrated grapes, which translate to powerful wines. From meticulous sorting to closely monitored fermentation and generous oak influence, we harnessed every opportunity to extract the power and flavor from this legendary year—a victory evident in each sip.

Vintage A true diamond in the rough, our 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a shining example of riches born from struggle. Extreme weather led to a challenging year in Sonoma County, with drought, high temperatures, and wildfires reducing the region’s yields by 30 percent. Though we harvested in. lower quantities, the quality was high. The wines made from these small, concentrated, flavorful grapes reinforce the message that even in the most turbulent times, there is beauty to be found.

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.

  • A figure representing the Vanilla tasting note. Vanilla
  • A figure representing the Blackcurrant tasting note. Blackcurrant

An herbaceous nose offers an alluring aromatic bouquet of dried rosemary and lilac joined by lively violet. Classic varietal flavors of blackcurrant join vanilla on the palate amid a full body and firm tannic structure. Dense and concentrated with modest acidity and a dry finish.
