2016 Cabernet Sauvignon – Dark Horse Ranch Vineyard –Biodynamically Farmed – 8 Barrels

Winemaker Notes

This wine is a pure expression of dark fruit, warm cooking spice and earthy/herbal aromas typical of the varietal. Juicy cherry and cinnamon flavors are paired with sweet herbs and baking spice. This is a medium to heavy styled wine with a powerful acid backbone, balanced with a strong ripe plum finish. The perfect holiday bottle. This Cabernet Sauvignon will pair beautifully with stuffed portobello mushrooms, a fine steak, and braised ribs.

Vineyard Notes

Our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Dark Horse Ranch, a 160-acre Biodynamic certified ranch and vineyard owned and managed by Heath and Paul Dolan. Located 8 miles north of the town of Hopland along the banks of the upper Russian River and sitting at 2,500 feet of altitude, this site provides outstanding conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon.
