2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

We are excited for the 2021 release of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm their vineyard to maximize quality. The 2021 growing season was outstanding in the Santa Clara Valley, allowing for a medium crop with long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors.

Dark blackberry and boysenberry aromas start this wine, followed by cedar, vanilla, baking spice and hints of leather from the oak aging. Medium tannins in the mouth are supported by balanced acidity and a complex finish. Pair with a nice steak with a mushroom sauce.
