Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Our inaugural vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon is exclusively sourced from the stony, serpentine block 46B of the Santa Ynez Vineyard, tucked into the easternmost reaches of the Happy Canyon AVA. This 170 acre vineyard - planted to some 30 varieties - rests on a 1,000 acre conservation easement that will protect the natural beauty and viticultural legacy of this region for generations to come.
Destemmed to open-top stainless tanks for native fermentation; macerated for two-and-a-half weeks and managed with pump-overs. Pressed down to french barriques (approximately 10% of which were new); racked once after malolactic fermentation and again to tank for bottling. Unfined, lightly filtered."

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as soft and easygoing. There's good depth to the fruit, but this also feels just a touch muted because of a recent addition of sulfur just prior to bottling." -AG, Jul/2023
