Tasting Notes
The 2012 harvest was reduced by freeze damage from 2010 and the light crop and good weather produced excellent quality grapes. The 2012 wines reflect that, with excellent color, mouthfeel, distinctive dark fruit aromas, and balanced tannin structure.

The Wine
Cabernet is almost the last grape we pick, usually around the beginning of November, but this year we were picking the Cabernet, because of the excellent growing season, just after the middle of October. The quality of the grapes is reflected in the ideal growing conditions, as well as the light crop. The ripe grapes have produced a strong Cabernet with lush black currant notes and a long, smooth, balanced finish.
