Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The inaugural vintage of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted predominantly from Butler Ranch, one of our Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyards in Mendocino County. Extreme elevation and rare Redvine soils make this mountain site ideal for growing well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon with rich layers of flavor. A deep, dark garnet hue – courtesy of a touch of Petit Sirah in the blend – sets the stage for a richly textured Cabernet Sauvignon with great depth of character.

The fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested by hand at the peak of ripeness between October and November, then destemmed and pressed. Following a warm fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine underwent fermentation to soften the mouthfeel. Nearly a third of this Cabernet was aged for 12 months in 100 percent new French oak with a medium to medium+ toast level, lending complex barrel notes to the finished wine.
