Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

The vines LOVE it when it gets so cold.  With several days of 25-30 degrees, they go into a deep dormancy.  It is now time that we can start to prune.

 Hi Friends,

Wow! By popular demand, we’re doing it again! I think we’re feeling the freedom of things getting back to normal… whatever that is, and thought it is time for “More Fun”.

2017 Reserve
Aromas of vanilla and black cherry linger with luscious oak accents which invite your first sip. Like your first romantic kiss, you’ll look forward to the second.

With bright acidity and balanced tannins, the flavor envelopes your tongue with its earthy character.  Full bodied with a great finish of delicate vanilla and oak, this wine can be cellared for a decade.
