Encore II
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District
After 41 years of farming, we have discovered that the best fruit we have seen comes from fully mature, sustainably farmed vineyards. This one-of-a-kind wine is an equal blend of two Cabernet Sauvignon clones, 337 & 15, that were planted 19 years before this harvest. It is safe to say this wine is made from truly mature vineyards. Powerful, rich, deep fruit, spice and polish all come together in this layered, age-worthy wine.
