2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma County

The abundant summer warmth of 2004 brought an early start to a tremendous vintage in Sonoma County. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is open and aromatic, concentrated and vibrant. It is sed ...moreuctive, full of rich, ripe dark berry fruit aromas and notes of white pepper and spice. The flavors echo the aromatics and fill your mouth with luscious Cabernet fruit and sweet toasty oak. Beautifully integrated and refined, the velvety tannins will allow this wine to age well for many years to come.

We recommend serving the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon with Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, classic oven roasted filet of beef or wild mushroom bruschetta.

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Santa Ynez Valley

This warm year vintage ripened perfectly and the old vines responded to careful cultivation by producing this rich, darkly colored 100% varietal Cabernet from two particular blocks ...more in the Valley View Vineyard. It was fermented in small batches in open topped fermenters then aged in new and seasoned French oak for 19 months. One can detect the terroir of the Valley View Vineyard on the nose and also the black cherry, currant, and blackberry aromas and flavors, all blended harmoniously in this classic wine. A wine that will only improve with 3-6 years of bottle aging.

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Valley View Vineyard

2003 was a warm year which allowed us to hand harvest the late ripening Cabernet fruit by mid October. This truly Bordeaux styled blend is comprised of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% M ...moreerlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petite Verdot, and 2% Malbec. With this vintage we returned to the practice of using small batch, open top fermenters and hand punching to mix the cap and the juice. Aging was carried out in French oak barrels, 20% of which were new. The resulting wine is dark and saturated with color. This ripe, well sculpted Cabernet in the Bordeaux tradition is ample in aromas of black currants, a hint of violet and spicy oak which lead to smooth cassis-like flavors. This elegant wine will benefit from up to seven or eight years of additional cellaring.

1983 Cabernet Sauvignon Founders Reserve

Our first Reserve level Cabernet made by our founding wine maker Karl Werner. An old fashioned, (and somewhat eccentric) style of winemaking. Intense and uncompromising, not a soft ...more rich experience â€“ this is a specimen of an extinct species! Very dark color, showing little evolution. Powerful bouquet of great complexity and depth (berries, musk, tar, earth, spices, tobacco). Lean, compact, tight, and austere in the mouth, with high acid, red-berry fruit and (very) powerful dry tannins. Very high extract, intense flavors, very long, dry finish. Decanting for several hours prior to serving is highly recommended. Serve with roasted meats and powerful sauces, mature cheeses or any fine steak.
