The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and fruit forward, with aromas of cassis and dark cherry. Rich and luscious dark berry flavors linger on the finish. Structured and bright, the oak, tannins and acidity are perfectly balanced to enjoy now or to cellar for future enjoyment! After 16 months of aging in 40% new French oak barrels, this wine was bottled on the second day of Summer in 2020.
Like a broken record, another small but mighty vintage (Mother Nature again!). The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is structured, bright and fruit forward, with earthy aromas of cassis and dark cherry. Lucious ripe berry juiciness and a hint of anise linger on the finish. Balanced oak, tannins and acidity are achieved once again. After 18 months of aging in 40% new French oak barrels, this wine was bottled in the midst of Harvest 2021 and is tasting amazing right now.
The 2021 vintage is round and luscious, with loads of earthiness and sweet tobacco on the nose. Balanced tannins and acidity are the hallmark of this wine once again, with a bit more toasted oak evident in this vintage. Still a blend from two vineyards on Stice and Zinfandel Lanes, this vintage represents an increase in production from an acre replanted in 2014. After 22 months of aging in 40% new French oak barrels, this wine was bottled in December 2023 and is ready to drink now, but will age nicely.
Like a broken record, another small but mighty vintage - Mother Nature strikes again! This 100% Cabernet is rich, round and lush, with plenty of earthy and dark berry flavors and aromas. While bolder and more intense than prior vintages, the oak, tannins and acidity are perfectly balanced to enjoy now or to cellar for future enjoyment! After 18 months of aging in 40% new French oak barrels, this wine was bottled in the midst of Harvest 2022 and is tasting amazing right now.
We just love our ORGANICALLY FARMED one-acre vineyard, planted in front of a friend’s house in ’02. This is our 18th vintage from the Admiral’s Vineyard, and it continues to impress! The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on September 7th and was a small but mighty vintage with bright citrus flavors, a refreshing crispness and nice minerality. This is my “go to” wine while prepping dinner!
