2021 Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
We gathered fruit from some of our favorite legacy blocks in Monte Rosso to create this standout Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose fills with aromas of red currant, dark cherry, soil after a fresh rain, and a touch of cocoa. Notes of boysenberry, raspberry, and cardamom, along with hints of black tea and dried florals, alight the palate. This full-bodied wine is balanced by fresh acidity and silky tannins.

Tasting Notes
Select Cabernet Sauvignon blocks were hand-harvested, hand-sorted and placed in small open-top fermenters for cold soaking up to three days. The wine was then racked into a combination of French (62% new) and American (15% new) oak barrels for approximately 26 months of aging.
The 2021 growing season marked a welcome return to ideal. Winter rains quenched the soil, setting the stage for dry weather the rest of the season. Over the summer, conditions stayed uneventful and mild, giving the grapes the luxury of hanging on the vine. Harvest began early, producing low yields of small berries with intense flavor concentration and optimal ripeness.
