Located in Santa Rosa, Viluko Vineyards hosts tasting by appointment only. Produce 900 cases per year, across Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The estate mountain vineyard is CCOF certified organic. 2013 Sonoma County Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1,188 cases produced. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 18 months in 100% French oak, 50% new.   Tasting Notes: Deep aromatics of brown spice, cinnamon and clove open to mouthfuls of dark berries and deep red cranberries. A core of minerality supports notes of red raspberries and cocoa powder. A balanced wine, and taut, with ripe fruit and supple texture; its youth is expressed with abundant tannins that soften when decanted. Worthy of aging for 8 – 10 years.
