Our 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of raspberry and Morello cherry. The aromas are framed by hints of cedar and cherry wood. The palate is soft and bursting with flavors of red and black fruits, pie filling and ripe plum. The finish is rich, with subtle yet prevalent rustic tannins.

Aromas of green apple, pear and citrus fill the glass. The crisp, fresh entry is layered with flavors of green apple, lemon zest and a touch of sourdough. The finish is lengthy and rich, showing varietal Picpoul Blanc expression.
