When it comes to Cabernet, the name of the game is length: length of flavor, length of finish, length of growing season, length of life. Our Sonoma County Cab is thus given a long fermentation (as much a month) to soften its tannins and provide structure for aging. Most of the fruit comes from well-drained gravel in Sonoma and Dry Creek Valleys, with a bonus injection from mountainside vineyards at Pickberry and Rancho Salina. All are low-cropped and small-berried, adding up to an intense mouthful of black cherries, mint, vanilla and smoke. The package will keep unfolding for decades.
