WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This Cabernet Sauvignon is made with grapes coming from 2 different Lodi AVA Vineyards. Oak Farm Estate Vineyards and the Shinn Vineyard. Both are trellised and the soil is primarily sandy loam. The blending varieties also come from Oak Farm Estate Vineyard. All of the grapes are sustainably farmed and certified green under the Lodi Rules certification. Intense on the nose and deep and dark in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon presents aromas of dark chocolate, black tea, black cherry and tobacco. It is dry, with a full body and a long and textured finish.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine is rich, opulent with aromas of black cherry, black plum and dried florals on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of blackberry, cherry cola and dried bay leaf that intertwine with sweet cigar, bittersweet chocolate, silky tannins and a dry finish. Pair with barbecued chicken.
