The palate is rich, yet compact, with elegant blackberry fruit flavors followed by Cabernet spice and savory herbs. It finishes with bright berry fruit and a touch of sweetness from the oak influence. The tannins are ripe and round; affording early drinkability.
The majority of the Cabernet Sauvignon came from the Lyon Vineyard located along the Russian River in northern Alexander Valley which was planted in 1973. This wine is comprised of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Merlot. The merlot in the wine helps to smooth and round out the edges of this wine.
Aromas of black cherry liquor, crushed hazelnut, tilled earth and dried rose petal. Decadent and rich on the palate with flavors of sweet dark plum and cocoa powder. Well-integrated tannins lead to a seamless finish.

We work with the land, not against it. Our 2018 Villa Vista Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of this effort. This wine is balanced between bright acidity, bursting aromas, and subtle tannins. The mouth-feel is sleek and smooth with flavors of wild violets and cherry. This gives way to supportive tannins and a soft lingering finish.

Full of tannins and lingering notes of herbs and spice.
Aromas of dark cocoa, ripe raspberry, and flint/mineral notes open up to sweet ripe plum, black cherry, and an oak expression of lightly toasted brioche. Full-bodied, exuberant plum and red cherry fruit flavors without a hint of the irrational.
