Description
Over the course of the last 20 years, we have spent an enormous amount of time and energy studying and replanting the vineyard. The large gestures are complete, and the new chapter of our wines is all about nuance and refinement. This soil-selected, singular parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of the most unique and exciting barrels of wine we produce from our vineyard. Its density and power are seamless, while its tension proves it has the structure to age for two decades or more.
