2020 Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Seven Hills Vineyard. A composite of two vineyard blocks and plant selections, fermented and aged, to bring the best of both to this single-vineyard bottling. Meticulous handling both in the vineyard and winery followed by 20 months of barrel-aging result in a rich wine with layers of complexity. This wine will age elegantly, but if you can’t wait, pair it with a rich meal and share it with your best friend.
