2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark purple color that looks beautiful in the glass, with aromas of black currant and blackberry. The dark jammy fruit flavors at the front of your palate, along with the rounded tannins and full body make this a Cab that you can enjoy by the glass at the end of a busy day or on those cooler fall days. We enjoy this wine with grilled meats, pizza, and chocolate desserts.
Look: Deep purple
Aromas: Black currant and blackberry
Taste: Jammy black fruits
These grapes were hand harvested and sorted in the field to remove unripe fruit and any foreign materials that could possibly affect the wine. In the winery we de-stem the grapes from the cluster and do a final hand sorting to ensure that only the best grapes are left for processing. The grapes were then put into a tank and left to “cold soak” at about 42°F for about four days before we began fermentation.
After primary fermentation is complete, we then transfer the wine into both American and French oak barrels and aged for 15 months.

Because Cabernet Sauvignon's are such a popular wine, we wanted to be very careful to bring out those qualities that make it so well known but also to show a more approachable side to this red wine. Performing a cold soak on the grapes prior to fermentation, and using neutral barrels, helps us to develop the rounded tannic structure that keeps this wine perfect to sip on all by itself and also pair with big meals. We also let this wine bottle age for almost two years before releasing it which helps to bring out that smooth finish.
