About this wine:

Despite our loose focus on the classic Rhone varietals, winemaker Brett has been driving around for many years with a license plate reading “Best Cab.” You knew it was coming. Having no small part in the relatively recent planting of Cabernet in the Camp 4 vineyard, he finally got his hands on some of its best quality grapes, and from them our first cabernet emerges. In Consilience style this extracted and chewy textured wine features the classic complex flavor characteristics of cabernet married with the mouth-filling berry flavors found in our syrah. There is of course a relative paucity of local cabernet compared to some of our northern California neighbors, and it’s exciting to experience this interpretation of what may be the most noble varietal.
