We are very excited to release our first wine solely off the Carver Vineyard. Planted circa 1980, Carver boasts a south facing slope at 1550’ on York Mountain just 8 miles from the Pacific. Plenty of sunshine, cool coastal breezes and a long growing season make it an ideal location to grow unique yet correct Cabernet Sauvignon. What more could a winemaker want? Aged for just over 3 years in a selection of French and Hungarian barriques, this wine is built for the long haul. A savory, cool climate nose of black olive and tobacco open to reveal a sweet dark berry and chocolate palate with a round anise finish. This wine is well structured with a wonderful balance of richness and energy that are framed by fine tannins. It was an alluring dinner companion to a chipotle and cocoa rubbed grass fed beef rib steak. Drink 2014-2030
