In 2018 we hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon from Bootjack Ranch and Heart Hill Vineyard throughout the month of October. This slow, methodical harvest allowed us to capture the complex spectrum of flavors that Cabernet Sauvignon is revered for: dark cherry, brushy herbs, chalky tannins and full bodied fruit. We de-stemmed the grapes and fermented them in stainless steel tanks. A portion of Cabernet Sauvignon was co-fermented with Petit Verdot. Only free run juice was used in this bottling, and we aged it in 50% new French Oak barrels for 21 months.

Fresh blackberry aromas are cut by wood, forest undergrowth and hints of char on the nose of this bottling, which also includes 9% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. The wood spice is even more prevalent on the palate, providing a foil to the freshly smashed blackberry, oregano and marjoram flavors.
