2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Among the wooded peaks of the Mayacamas range lies our vineyard home, an oasis above the fog where we tune into a collaboration with nature. While we are not the first pioneers to cultivate and enjoy this idyllic site, it remains untamed and unpredictable. Evidence of 19th century grapevines were found at the outset of our development. The work of photographer Harry Taylor pays tribute to this layered history with an antique tintype process. The result is an impression of the land’s elusive spirit across time.

In keeping with its lineage, the 2022 vintage shows remarkable poise and presence. This wine is a crowning expression of our maturing vines. With age, the vineyard is channeling darker, more concentrated fruit within an elegant tannic frame. Generous blueberry, blackberry, and black tea play with the classic Cabernet Sauvignon totems of tobacco, cedar, and espresso. The lively energy of orange zest and chocolate covered orange peel lift and highlight this superbly layered wine.

Intricate and deep, the 2021 Estate Cabernet beckons with heady aromas of cocoa, candied orange, and violets. This wine swells and glimmers with dark, luxe fruit. An assemblage of blueberry, creme de cassis, and wild blackberry is freckled with savory notes of fennel seed, verbena, and coffee beans. Long, voluminous tannin offers strength and longevity while the fruit maintains our terroir’s breezy, carefree quality, echoing a warm summer day on the mountain.
