A brilliant, dark garnet with a slight violet hue sets the stage for a richly textured Cabernet Sauvignon with great depth of character. Layered notes of black cherry, black currant and spice form a well-structured backdrop for a decadent palate of dark fruit, leather, tobacco and pencil shaving. Full-bodied with ripe tannins, our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to evolve for up to five years of additional cellaring.
The second vintage of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted predominantly from Butler Ranch, one of our Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyards in Mendocino County. Fruit from Blue Heron Vineyard’s single Cabernet Sauvignon block was also incorporated. The wine was aged for 6 months in 100 percent French oak, 40% of it new, lending complex barrel notes to the finished wine and creating a medium toast level.
