California Cabernet Sauvignon is delightfully varied. Our version steers away from the big, bold and brash representations and instead coaxes out the grape’s more fruit-forward side. We harvest from Massa Vineyard, a unique site that sits at 1,500 feet in elevation with vines nestled among loamy soil. The whole cluster grapes saw regular pumpovers during fermentation in stainless steel tank. It was then pressed into neutral French oak barrique and aged for 10 months. 

This is not your typical steakhouse Cabernet. Massa is a high elevation vineyard known in part for its Chenin Blanc. It produces a wispy and fresh blue-fruited Cabernet that is pure-fruited and sprightly with silky whispery tannins. It is aged in oak barrels, but all are neutral, helping the wine to develop but not show woody flavors
