Cave Block
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Los Carneros
What makes this block so special that we decided to bottle it on its own? It is the TLC it receives from the estate's proprietor, Tony Truchard. This block is located above the caves, next to their home, and is the first block he sees each morning and the last block he views from his bedroom window before he goes to sleep. All of our vineyards are meticulously cared for, but this being first in mind gets a little extra love which is shown in the fruits of our labor and in the wine. Ypur wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from one single-vineyard parcel which showcases a true and unique "sense of place" among the rolling hills of our Los Carneros estate. This wine has floral aromas of ripe cherry and cassis with notes of cedar and vanilla. On the palate, bright fruit of raspberry and red currant emerge with a nice, lengthy finish. It is drinkable now, but will continue to develop over the next 10 to 12 years.
