2017 Cabernet Sauvignon

With a late heat spike, our vines shut down a bit, which ultimately gave the clusters more time to develop flavor without becoming over-ripe. Hand-picked, meticulously sorted, this was the first year we included block seven into the blend, and we are smitten with her. Block one (45%) gives us our fennel and star anise, block three (32%) gives us our cedar and tobacco leaf, and block seven (18%) gives us everything pretty: plum, currant, orange zest, cocoa and rosemary, freshly grated nutmeg.
