2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Clone 6
Sourced from our 3-acre Clone 6 block in the Valley View Vineyard, where loose clusters and petite berries yield exceptionally concentrated color, structure, and depth. Fermented and aged meticulously, this wine now delivers pronounced aromas of dark cherry, black currant, and crushed graphite, underscored by savory notes of dried herb, subtle licorice, and forest floor. On the palate, it unfolds with polished tannins and fine-grained acidity, offering a layered mid-palate rich in plum and cassis, all culminating in a lingering, velvety finish. A limited 169-case release—perfect now for its harmony.
