Full-bodied, tannic, with balanced concentration and an exceptionally long finish, this is a Cabernet collector’s dream. Opening with concentrated purple hues and black, brambly fruit aromatics the senses fire up with indications of top-level quality. Wow! Opening up with background notes of French Oak vanillin, fresh earth, mushrooms and underwood complexities, this has pure, mountain Cabernet expression. Full-bodied and expansive tannin structure leads into full-length impact upon the palate. Charred bitter fruits interlaced with cranberry, black currant, and mottled blackberries are all intertwined. The acid and tannin balance promises a wine that will hold for well over two decades in proper cellaring conditions.

More iron, savory red and black fruits, leather, chocolate, and dried herb notes emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard Saunders Block, another rich, concentrated wine in the lineup. It's balanced and has plenty of tannins as well as outstanding length.

Showcasing the full-fledged structure of a mountain Cabernet and the compelling aromas and flavors of chaparral, bay laurel, and mushroom reduction poured over a mix of red and black fruits. This wine will continue to develop in bottle with its lingering finish and abundant tannins.
