Winemaker's Notes

Educated Guess North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon opens with concentrated aromas of dark berries, plums, and a hint of cracked peppercorn. The primary source for the Cabernet fruit is from the famed Beckstoffer Crimson Ridge Vineyard. This vineyard is known for its volcanic soils and has a western facing orientation, which provides the wine with amazing structure and depth due to its extended hang time. The Napa Cabernet portion of the blend comes from vineyards in Oakville and Rutherford and brings to the blend a perfect sense of elegance and smooth velvety tannins. The final blend is luscious and full bodied, excites the senses, and is packed full of exotic Flavors of tea spice, dark chocolate, and fruit preserves.

Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah
