The Story
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot
Aromas of black currant, plum, and cherry. The palate is rich with dark fruit flavors, well-structured tannins, and a long fruity finish.
These grapes are grown in the sandy soils of the Lodi appellation in the Sacramento River Delta. Here, the cooling breezes from the San Francisco Bay moderate the temperatures and allow the grapes to retain their rich varietal flavors during the ripening season.
The grapes were picked in the cool mornings, crushed, and fermented with the skins for one week to extract the rich color and flavor. 100% Malolactic fermentation. The wine ages for 18 months in tank and oak.
