Product Overview
Winemaker Notes:“This red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc will thwart the curse of knowledge on the Sierra Foothills and immerse on a new dimension of perfectly balanced, well structured and high-quality red wine. The intense ruby color and a sensational bouquet of dried violet, black cherry, fresh herbs, and cocoa powder will catch your attention. A balanced mid-palate, generous and round due to the velvety tannins with a lingering finish of dark berries and black licorice. Drink now to taste the brightness of our fruits or age in your cellar for the next decade.”

89 Points – Wine Enthusiast“This richly oaked wine oozes baking spices, cedar, cloves and maple from the first whiff to the lingering finish. A full body and light tannins give it a soothing, warm texture, while ripe black cherries form a good background.” -JG, 12/1/22
