We have blended wines from High Valley (dark, deep, rich) with Red Hills (bright red fruit, elegance) that together create a complex, classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Cassis, blackberry, leather and chaparral combine aromatically with flavors of toasted oak, boysenberry pie and vanilla.
Mid-palate weight and complexity while maintaining elegance and texture.

2022 was an extraordinary year in the vineyards. Every few weeks, unusual weather events swept through the warm spring. Summer began with a heat wave reaching 110°F in Lake County, followed by heavy mid-summer rains. The two inches of rain delayed our harvest until the soil dried and brix levels rose.
