Winemaker Notes

Fresh, clean and powerful flavors center on sweet oak and roasted fruit. Bright berry flavors are carried along by pleasant fine tannins very much in balance for early drinking. This vintage is never ponderous but instead ideally structured in a classic European style meant to accompany food.

Knowing these wines well allows me to predict 3-5 years of sublime everyday drinking pleasure very much what LATERAL has become known for.  A real winner!

Winery Notes

The Kathyrn Kennedy estate vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines cover gentle slopes in Saratoga, California on the inland side of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Eight acres of vines were planted on their own roots by Kennedy in 1973. Each vintage is grown by hand and vinified in small lots followed by gentle barrel aging.

Blend: 63% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Franc
