Winemaker Notes

The magic of this tiny Mount Veeder Cabernet block results from the vines nestling in a forest of California Laurel. Also known as Bay, these aromatic trees lend their character to the flavors of the wine, providing an insinuation of menthol which marries with a black cherry character from the ripe ‘See’ clone Cabernet Sauvignon that’s grown there. Beautifully balanced, and certainly our most feminine Cabernet Sauvignon offering, its tannins grip gently in the finish with well-defined fruit. Bottle-age has allowed this wine to evolve and integrate perfectly.

Food Pairing : This wine pairs well with hearty dishes, such as New York strip steak, short ribs, lamb, and braised short ribs. It is also recommended with cheeses and vegetarian dishes, particularly those with mushrooms or eggplant.
