Winemaker Notes

The B Side Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply concentrated and expressive wine. Aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, currants, olive, and dried lavender are pronounced on the nose. This is a full-bodied wine with juicy layers of dark fruit, jam, baked pie, and hints of cinnamon flavor. The brooding fruit is quintessential Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma and with ripe, powdery tannins the wine is soft and easy to enjoy in its youth. The wine is aged for 12-18 months in predominately French oak barrels and stainless steel. The toasty French oak frames the wine. This overall wine is deep, well-structured, and intensely flavored with soft tannins and a lengthy finish.

Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
