- VINTAGE NOTES
- The 2020 growing season saw a warm-to-hot summer with excellent ripening conditions. While wildfires posed challenges in some areas, the overall vintage produced wines of remarkable depth and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon from this year offers plush textures, concentrated fruit, and balanced acidity, making it a standout for aging potential. A late-season freeze in October marked an abrupt end to harvest, reinforcing the importance of careful vineyard selection.

- TASTING NOTES
- A rich, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon with layers of blackberry purée, ripe plums, and sweet baking spices. Notes of vanilla bean and wild bramble fruits emerge with air, complemented by a subtle saline streak. The palate is dense and plush, unfolding with dark fruit, spice, and hints of cocoa powder. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity lead to a long, elegant finish.
