Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

 

Dry Red Wine
Planted in 2000, the name Valley View Vineyard speaks for itself. It sits 15o feet higher than our Chamisal Creek Vineyard and overlooks the Sacramento Valley. The Sutter Buttes, Mt. Lassen and even Mt. Shasta are visible from the top of the vineyard. Gravelly loam soils make the vines work to provide intense and balanced fruit.

 

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in appearance this Cabernet emanates bouquets of roses, lush black currants and an earthy terroir note fitting for the rich soils of Chamisal Creek. The effervscent aromas are but a prelude to the elegant flavors of blackberry, espresso, vanilla
